Hallig Gröde - Glasswort

Averting one’s gaze from the horizon, interesting details can be found on the ground. Such as these glasswort plants.

Glasswort (salicornia europaea) can be found in abundance in most of the aggradation zones on Gröde, most of them deeply red colored due to the accumulated salt in late summer and autumn. This plant, found in the excavated hole just north of the Knudswarft, shows the whole range of glasswort colors from fresh green over yellow to red.
