This is the Silent Spring (v. 2.0) in Calderona Natural Park, Valencia, Spain. No flowers. Cork oak trees dying because of the long drought. And it is spring!

It is spring, so the landscape should be lush green with many flowers. However, this is not the case this year in Serra Gelada and its surroundings (#Alacant, #Valencia region, E #Spain) - Silent Spring 2.0 -
