Amateur photographer, pacifist, interested in art, birdwatching, wildlife and worried about world (un)justice.

Enjoy birdlife in three sets, "Birds in Africa" (some 410 photos), "European birds" (some 272 photos) and "Birds of The Gambia" (some 345 photos). A visit to www.pbase.com/snarfel and www.hbw.com/ibc/u/22961 may also be enjoyable.

Out of respect for nature and birdlife, no photos taken near the nest nor of birds in captivity.

My belief: "Nacket bin ich von Mutterleibe kommen. Nacket werde ich wiederum dahinfahren". However, during our lifetime our indisputable obligation is to stand up against hypocrisy, oppression and abuse of power
