Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called the "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Manor Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe.
Rund 15 Prozent der Erdoberfläche werden von Savannen bedeckt. Damit gehören sie zu den größten und wichtigsten Lebensräumen des Planeten. Seit dem 26. Mai 2023 wird Besucher*innen im Tierpark Berlin ein Einblick in diese faszinierende Landschaft gewährt und sie können mehr über die unterschiedlichen Bewohner der ostafrikanischen Savanne und ihren natürlichen Lebensraum erfahren.
Ein wahrer Höhepunkt der neuen Tierpark-Savanne ist der 120 Meter lange Giraffenpfad: Hier werden die Gäste den bis zu fünf Meter hohen Grazien der Savanne zukünftig auf Augenhöhe begegnen können – wer sich traut, bahnt sich den Weg durch den Wald bis zu den Aussichtsplattformen über eine abenteuerliche Hängebrücke. Der Tierpark Berlin erreicht mit der Eröffnung der Afrikanischen Savannenlandschaft ein neues Etappenziel auf seinem Weg zu einem Zoo der Zukunft. Seit knapp neun Jahren wird der 1955 gegründete und 160 Hektar große Tierpark Berlin zu einem naturnahen Geozoo umgebaut.

Around 15 per cent of the earth's surface is covered by savannahs. This makes them one of the largest and most important habitats on the planet. Since 26 May 2023, visitors to Tierpark Berlin have been given an insight into this fascinating landscape and can learn more about the different inhabitants of the East African savannah and their natural habitat.
A true highlight of the new zoo savannah is the 120-metre-long giraffe trail: here, guests will be able to meet the up to five-metre-high graces of the savannah at eye level in future - those who dare will make their way through the forest to the viewing platforms via an adventurous suspension bridge. With the opening of the African Savannah Landscape, Tierpark Berlin has reached a new milestone on its way to becoming a zoo of the future. For almost nine years, the 160-hectare Tierpark Berlin, which was founded in 1955, has been transformed into a near-natural geozoo. In order to provide an insight into the habitat of the individual animal species and their interactions, peculiarities and problems, the animals in the zoo will largely be seen according to geographical aspects.

A reminder of war consequences.

"The town was completely destroyed during the Battle of the Ebro (25 July–16 November 1938) and although the lower part of the town was rebuilt, the upper part, known as Poble Vell (Old Town), including the old church on the hill, has been kept as a reminder.
The town has one of the five information centres run by COMEBE, a public consortium, including the Generalitat de Catalunya, that was founded in 2001 to recover the historical memory of the areas in which the 115-day-long Battle of the Ebro, the longest, bloodiest and most decisive battle of the Spanish Civil War, took place. The Centre d'interpretació de la batalla de l'Ebre (Battle of the Ebro Information Centre) has marked paths on a circuit around the area."

I am buried in homework and projects.
On the bright side, it was so nice out today! :)
Hope you are all well<3
Recently, I posted an image taken by my wife, Jenny.
Some of you were kind enough to say nice things about her photography. Thank you.
But there have been consequences.
I now have a new Artistic Director (note the capital letters!).
Jen has taken the role on (uninvited) for a mere 50% of any earnings (mind you, 50% of nowt is still nowt).
Unfortunately, whenever we're out together, she now feels qualified to point out "Amazing Images" (note the capital letters) and insist that I shoot several versions. (Evidently, because I spend so much time "mucking about" with my shots I have to take several versions to be sure of getting an acceptable one).
This image is the result of this type of collaboration. The conversation went like this;
J - "Have you seen that line of trees over there?"
D (without looking) - "What trees?"
J - "THOSE trees. The ones at the edge of the field."
D (giving them a cursory lance) - "What about them?"
J - "Don't you think that would make an 'Amazing Image'"
D - "Nope"
J - "Why not?"
D - "Just doesn't inspire me at all. I can't see a photo there"
A few minutes silence .....................
J - "A decent photographer would make something of them."
D - "Well, maybe I'm not a decent photographer"
J - "Evidently not"
More silence during which I sneak another look.
D (Sighing) - "OK. Maybe just the one. Just to please you,................................... sweetheart"
Here it is then.

Smile on Saturday: Mirror
This beautiful vintage mirror is in one of my favourite little shops, which has an interesting story. It used to be an ordinary, almost sterile jewellery shop, until severe water damage forced the owner to redo everything. Underneath the boring white paint, they discovered that the building had kept its original interiors with brick walls and beautiful wooden beams and ceiling. They obviously decided to keep it that way and as a consequence to adapt the shop. It is now a wonderfully quaint place, packed from floor to ceiling with a colourful bric-a-brac of bags, scarves, hair accessories, jewellery, hats, masks, umbrellas... It is a photographer's dream! You can see what it looks like in this album:

The choice to move from war artist George Lambert’s self-assured self-portrait, and this dramatic painting of a returned veteran from the Afghan war is deliberate on my part. So is the choice of black and white. Colour tends to mesmerise, and here I want you to focus on all the elements in my composition. At the top left hand corner the face of Brett Whiteley appears to be taking a peek at the naked soldier in Ben Quilty’s stunning and moving 2012 portrait of Captain “S”. www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/artboards/archie-100/what-lies-...
The Brett Whiteley cameo is from his own triptych which we’ll come to later. But Quilty’s choice of thick paint (you must enlarge this) applied with a palette knife creates a disturbing sense of a body that is at once still alive, but also in many ways already a corpse. There is no doubt here that contemporary war artist Ben Quilty is addressing head-on the issue of PTSD and the depravities of this pointless modern war.
Another artist I highly recommend in this regard is Quilty's colleague in Afghanistan, George Gittoes. Listen to him tell these incredible stories: www.youtube.com/watch?v=714QAXRllp4
Gittoes' book, "Blood Mystic", is truly an example of how art from war zones can change lives.
Remember the ignominious end of the Aghan war recently with the clumsy American withdrawal? Well guess who’s back in power in Kabul now? It was clearly Vietnam 2.0, and like then, our government followed the USA down this ridiculous rabbit-hole, all in the name of keeping the Military-Industrial Complex making profits (a term coined by the conservative President and former General Dwight Eisenhower in the 1950s as he tried to warn us of what was happening). Don’t get me started on 9/11.
Let me be completely inflammatory now, since this is the only weapon I have to fight these Masters of War (that Bob Dylan so wonderfully eviscerated!): The war in Ukraine now threatens to escalate to World War 3. You are aware by now I hope that the US Congress has spent over $100 Billion on Ukraine already in what is clearly a proxy war with Russia. Where have we seen such a proxy war before? Well Vietnam of course. History repeats and the casualties of war include not just the innocent civilians, but the tens of thousands of soldiers who die, and those like Captain “S” who return home the living dead, spurned as lepers by their own country and many taking their own lives. It’s a damnable disgrace!
Am I angry? You are damn right I am. There’s a special place in Hell reserved for those who profit from war. As Dylan put it so magnificently when he wrote about Vietnam (but really every war):
“Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks…
And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
By the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead.”
Sooner or later, the bill comes due originated in the United States between the late nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth century within everyday commercial and accounting language. The expression is linked to informal credit practices in shops, general stores, and small businesses, where customers could buy “on account” and pay later. In this context, the phrase literally meant that, even if payment could be postponed, the debt would eventually have to be settled. Over time, the expression shifted into figurative use and entered journalistic, political, and social language, taking on a moral and existential meaning: every action, choice, or behavior generates inevitable consequences, leading sooner or later to a moment of reckoning. This proverb is often used to emphasize individual and collective responsibility: no one can avoid the effects of what they do forever.
I create these images using artificial intelligence not to replace photography, nor to question its artistic value, which remains central and untouchable in my practice, but to use a different tool in response to specific expressive needs in the present.
In the corporate world we are always encouraged to raise our hands when we see something wrong or unethical going on. Not everyone in the corporate world does I'm sure, but if everyone did that this would be quite a different place...

It has been a very dry year in Portugal. One of the visible consequences is the almost empty water dams, like this one in the mddle of the country.
This old military bridge (more than 200 years old) is located into the basin of "Pego do Altar" water dam and only become visible twice in the last 50 years (the two extreme dry years, like the actual one...)
We need rain urgently!

The consequences of the Coronavirus have inspired me to build this LEGO model.
In Denmark where I live, people had to work at home. Kindergartens and schools had closed, so people had to work and look after their children at the same time.
We cannot visit the elderly at their homes, but some people had played songs for them in front of their windows and balconies.
We cannot cross the border. At the airports the airplanes are parked. And all LEGO events are cancelled.
There are very busy at the hospitals. Every day people die. And we have all learned to keep distance from each other.
A quick look through my stream of images will show that whether they are the main subject of a photo or part of a vast indiscernible landscape, trees are a major theme. Until today, I didn't realize how well represented and important to my photography and overall enjoyment of my life they are.
Trees have amazing character and live is some of the harshest and most beautiful environments on the planet. These two reside on the cold, wind blown slopes of Mt. Hood near Timberline lodge.
I love this image, because well....it's all about the trees.
