Heinola bird garden was established in 1963. Heinola Town Supervisor, Anthony Bosley donated a variety of parrots to the city, and the bird nursery started. Over the years the business has expanded. Bird nursery’s mission is to take care of injured wild birds and return them to back to the nature after recovery. About 300 birds have been treated so far, but the number of lives all the time. The annual number of treated birds is approximately 200 – 250 individuals, of which about 30-40% can be returned back to the wild.
The main causes of injuries are, traffic, power lines and various types of large glass surfaces. These birds that wont survive in the wild, but are able to live independently at the shelter, remain in the nursery. . Many species, such as owls are difficult to spot in the wild
Here are few pictures I was able to take there,,,
I had trouble deciding what kind of pictures I would like to add to this. Here are two different approaches to it. The first picture are taken in valley of the Kings in Cyprus
Spread over a vast area, these impressive underground tombs date back to the 4th century BC. They are carved out of solid rock while some are decorated with Doric pillars. High officials rather than Kings were buried here, but the magnificence of the tombs gave the locality its name.
The other set is home of the elephant farm workers in Thailand…totally different take.

I took photos of this old wooden barn – I have not taken one single shot of the whole building, but the parts that are about to be destroyed by time.
I do not once again know if this a different point of view… of what. But it is beautiful in its ugliness.
