Description Vipera berus or common European viper. This snake has one of the most beautiful patterns of all snakes, for my taste

Today I went for a walk and saw a lot of snakes, but only one was lazy enough to let me get my camera

Really lovely!
I like grey colour scheme and the bokeh pattern from the scales.

The ones we have around here are usually more brownish or charcoal-black.
Still waiting for my old Vipera Berus aquaintance to come sunbathe at her usual spot!( [link] )

We have black vipers too, but most often you can meet that gray one.
I've never seen brown one like you showed. Interesting that there is a difference, even if we aren't that far away from each other.

That's one of the things I like about snakes, they have such unique and beautiful patterns on them. It bugs me that some people hate snakes just because they're snakes.

Yeah, exactly. And it tends to mostly be a certain type of woman that is scared of bugs and reptiles out of course. (not to sound sexist or anything. But it seems like some woman are afraid of those things because they think that's what being a girl is supposed to be. -_-) When when I was trying to be as feminine as possible I never was afraid of those things. Granted I never really liked spiders that much, but I was never afraid of them, nor did I think them some how evil. So yeah, it's just sad how people can't see the beauty in certain wild life.
