A photograph taken in the forest. Fine white threads of a spider's web cover a branch covered with lichen and autumn leaves lying on the ground. Water droplets hang from the threads like pearls on a string.

A tree trunk with thin, curved branches floats in the still water and is reflected in it, just like the sky and clouds.

The image shows a close-up of several delicate purple cosmos flowers in the foreground. The focus of the image is on the delicate flowers with their thin green stems and a few closed buds. The petals are shown in various stages of blooming and wilting. The colours are subtle and natural. The background is blurred.

The image is a black-and-white photograph showing a wide landscape with a lake in the foreground and mountains in the background. The foreground is dominated by the calm waters of a lake. At the bottom of the image is a wooden jetty. Several ducks are swimming on the water. Two navigation buoys rise out of the water. The background shows an impressive backdrop of high, snow-capped mountains. The mountains are framed by dark clouds, with the light highlighting the snow-covered peaks.

The English edition is called "For 28 Days".

A story that makes us ask ourselves: Who am I? And what kind of person do I want to be?
It's not an easy book to read; it makes you feel sad and angry, but it is incredibly intense.
It really got me thinking.
Description in ALT
#BlueBrewBooks #books
Warsaw, 1942. The 16-year old Mira smuggles food in order to survive in the Warsaw Ghetto. When she discovers that the entire Ghetto population is to be deported to concentration camps and murdered there, she desperately tries to find a way to save her family. She comes into contact with a group of young people who are planning the unthinkable: an uprising against the occupying forces. Mira joins the resistance fighters who, as it turns out, can hold out longer against the SS than anyone had thought. Much longer. For 28 days. During these 28 days, Mira has to decide where her heart belongs. To Amos, who wants to take as many Nazis into the grave with him as he can? Or to Daniel, who wants to help the orphans in the bunkers? 28 days in which Mira experiences moments of great humanity, betrayal, suffering and happiness. What kind of human being do you want to be?

A great tit sits on a thin, vertical branch that branches off from a thicker branch. The bird looks slightly down and to the left. The background is blurred and consists of a light grey area.

The picture shows a willowherb (Epilobium angustifolium) in winter. The twisted, dried capsules shown are the plant's seed heads. It looks very abstract. The background is blurred (bokeh).

The sky is a mixture of light blue sky and dramatic, dark and light clouds. Sunbeams break through the clouds, creating a strong contrast and a radiant light effect. Dark, heavy clouds dominate the lower and left areas, while lighter, fluffy clouds and the translucent sunbeams can be seen in the upper and right areas. Two birds can be seen silhouetted against the brighter sky in the left and centre of the image.

The bird pictured is an Alpine chough (Pyrrhocorax graculus), also known as a yellow-billed crow, sitting on a rock. The bird has shiny, jet-black plumage and a bright yellow, slightly curved beak and red legs, which contrast sharply with its dark body. Alpine choughs are typical inhabitants of high mountain regions above the tree line.

The image shows a close-up of a cattle's head in black and white. The photograph is sharply focused on the animal's face, particularly its eyes, nose and ears. The cattle looks rather grumpy.
