Stunning Photo: Frost Formations on Trees in Czech Forest

Fitting for the first day of December is this amazing photograph of windswept frost formations in a wooded expanse in the Beskydy Mountains bordering between Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Photographer Jan Bainar was hiking the area when he caught sight of these frosty designs on one side of the tree trunks in the forest. These fanciful shapes, created by the combination of low temperatures, slight precipitation and high winds, look like silvery gray hair flowing out from both sides of a part on someone's head.

THE DOO DOO BIRD EVERYONE KNOWS THAT

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

The much more interesing quersion would be which is the last species the homo sapiens will wipe out? Presumably homosampiens will the last species homo sapiens will wipe out from this planet himself... I assume that the moa, the great auk, the tasmanian tiger, the passenger pigeon, a numberos amount of domesicated pig an cattle breeds is only the tip of the icebearg of a long tradition of human caused extinction... It seems that Homo Sapiens is so eager to see evolution at work that the cleans out a large number of ecological nieces just to see which species is going to evolve to fill it... Hoiwever, sometimes it is not that clear if wiped out by human alone or if humans where just gave the death blow to a species alrady on the path to extinction..
