Farmers spray a lot of water nowadays … But the natural environment still contains sufficient moisture in all shapes and forms, which is clearly visible after a relatively cool night and a cloudless warm day.
A naturally mixed forest with a dense undergrowth can buffer and retain a lot of moisture. Unfortunately, as a result of climate change, the droughts are getting longer and longer … But the bare industrialized monoculture fields around the farms need artificial watering within a week after the last rain. Farmers often extract this water from natural sources, so that the distant natural environment of the farm suffers.
I often wonder how long people can still make photos like these in North-West Europe .…
