Solitär - from my photo exhibition "Arctic Horizon"
I had nearly always luck with the weather on my trips to the north. But even it the light is dull and there is not structure in the sky it is easy to find great things to photograph.
I took this photo on a hike to Smoerdalskammen, Lofoten, Norway.

Sollitär - Fotoausstellung "Arctic Horizon" in Bonn
Auf meinen Reisen in den Norden hatte ich
bisher immer großes Glück mit dem Wetter.
Aber auch wenn das Licht einmal nicht
mitspielt – Motive finden sich immer. Dieses
Bild entstand auf einer Wanderung auf den
Berg Smoerdalskammen, Lofoten, Norwegen.

Took the Audi off road because that bish is 4x4! I wasn't too worried about nails because we had a spare and it wasn't my car;-) And tbh I had a great feeling as we came down the road that led us here. Fun time it was.
Happy Truck Thursday

An excellent weekend spent exploring S Wales with dear photography friends old and new.

Love how strong and muscular this lioness is. Every pound is muscle and tells you, that you have a real predator in front of you.
Her pride took down an elephant the night before and I imagine, that she had a good portion in the hunt.
Agent Whiskers reporting from the Aquatic Surveillance Unit. Method of gathering intel – periscope mode. Status – damp but effective. Mission – I’d tell you, but then I’d have to splash you.
Deere Asylum, Virginia / USA - November 2020: Overgrown courtyard behind the admissions building on the campus of an abandoned mental hospital.
Most people will say we did the proper thing on the day Storm Ciara visited the British Isles. The nation had been solemnly warned by weather forecasters on all channels that staying indoors was the only sensible option as winds of almost 100 miles per hour were due to arrive and make a thorough examination of the landscape. It was an unwelcome interruption to our three day visit to North Wales when every moment was precious and full of photographic intent, but we decided that there would be other adventures ahead of us if we put our own personal safety ahead of artistic ambition.
And so we put on a pot of coffee and settled down in front of "Whisky Galore" instead. My brother Dave had spotted the fact that our rented cottage boasted a DVD player and decided to bring the entertainment with him. If you haven't seen this film (and I'm talking about the 1949 version rather than the more recent offering that I cannot vouch for), then I highly recommend it on a dark damp Sunday afternoon, preferably along with a glass of something Scottish and peaty. And I beg you please, without ice or other form of diluting substance.
During the film we all kept an eye on events outside the window of course. Only a couple of miles of flat open land separated our temporary home from the North coast of Wales, and apart from the odd brave motorist and one seagull notably flying backwards, all we could hear was huge amounts of air being moved rapidly from one place to another. Until early in the afternoon it began to ease. When we stepped outside, the first thing we noticed was that the recycling bins had been distributed extravagantly across the road outside the cottage. Passing cars had evidently had to engage in a bit of obstacle dodging during the morning.
It's only about 17 miles from where we were staying to Penmon Lighthouse, but the journey took two hours. There are two bridges onto Anglesey, and the larger one, the Britannia Bridge remained closed, while seemingly all of the traffic in North Wales convened at a single roundabout near Bangor to cross the stately Menai Bridge in single file. As we queued, Dave joked that the tractor in front of us was probably going all the way to Penmon. It seemed less funny when it really did lead us almost all of the way to our destination.
We'd gone to North Wales primarily to shoot in the mountains of Snowdonia, but somehow managed to visit no less than four lighthouses. Penmon, on the leeward side of Anglesey was number two, and we managed to catch it in between some brutal squalls. As Dave headed towards the edge of the water the instruction came through by phone for him to stand still and look heroic while he worked out his own composition.
After a cursory glance I'd ignored the Penmon pictures until today, as I couldn't work out how to edit them satisfactorily, and other images from the trip seemed easier to work on. But it's a bank holiday weekend and the blazing sun that we were promised today failed to materialise so I decided to persevere until I got something I felt reasonably content with. At this rate I might even manage to produce a shot from Llandwyn Island on the first evening when the mountains of Snowdonia disappeared into the distant cloud. No promises though!
Tried to scope out a intimate composition from the beautiful looking rolling hills of the East bay Hills during spring time

An opening. The gate left open! An entrance made easy. A short walk down an alleyway. We push aside a garbage bin. Only it sets in motion a wave of rats... scurrying and running over our feet! The initial shock wears off and you head in, wondering how many more rats are inside.
