An aerial view of Namibia's breathtaking dunes, shaped by time and wind into fluid, golden formations. This mesmerizing landscape captures the raw beauty of the desert, where endless sand waves create an almost surreal masterpiece of nature.
Beautiful mountains and blue alpine lakes were just a treat to enjoy this late summer during an incredible hiking experience in the San Juan mountains of Colorado
All the light is from the stormy cluds brewing while capturing this shot
A sweeping mountain landscape stretches across the horizon beneath a dramatic sky filled with towering clouds and patches of vivid blue. Rolling moorland occupies the foreground, leading the eye toward a rugged chain of sunlit fells and rocky ridges in the distance. The interplay of light and shadow creates depth and atmosphere, with shafts of sunlight illuminating sections of the landscape while darker clouds cast broad shadows across the valleys. The scene conveys the wild, open character and ever-changing weather that define the Lake District.

CHOBE RIVERFRONT | BOTSWANA
I just love Waterbucks. One of my favourite Antelopes in Africa.
Getting those in that beautiful light was just perfect.
By the end of May, my sister Aurelia arrived in Stuttgart Airport, coming home from her PhD studies in Melbourne over the summer months. While my mum and I were waiting for her plane to arrive, the idea was to take some photos of the airfield during blue hour. Therefore, I used one of the viewpoints, which normally plane spotters use. During some spectacular light, this scene caught my eye even more. It shows the Stuttgart TV tower (216,6 m) as a minimalistic part of the sky, filled with some awesome colors.

THE OLD BRIDGE
When I was at the age of 15 my brother and me often drove in his car to the Eifel. He and my uncle Erich introduced me to Blues and Jazz music.
One piece I will never forget was „Even Trolls Love Rock and Roll“ by Tony Joe White.
And it goes like this:
But we came upon a long black stretch of woods
Had an old river running through it
And an old wooden bridge across the river
Well just as I was about to step up on the bridge
Out stepped the troll…
So this was what I was thinking when I saw that bridge in the middle of Norway…of course :-) Have a great day!

KRUGER NATIONAL PARK | SOUTH AFRICA
I caught a small movement in the high grass, a good 30m away from the road and a glimpse of something brownish between the green.
This little Waterbuck was hiding in the grass, but no worries, his mother was not to far away.

After a little nap, even the sweetest dreams are over at some point.
The herd was slowly beginning to move from the graslands towards the nearby waterhole, when this Zebra mother started to gently poke her little foal awake.

Heartstopping moment, when you realize, that a lioness looks straight at you.
Those of you who are good enough to take the time to read these irreverent diversions may be aware that deep within the bowels of my camera bag lurks a 16-35mm lens, which has had a bit of a colourful history since it came into my possession. I bought it at the beginning of last year, not long after I'd decided to go full frame as it seemed an obvious necessity for the trip to Iceland the following summer. Within the first six months of owning it, it had almost vanished over the edge of the cliffs at St Agnes Head; it had survived a tumble on the secret beach in front of the famous sea stacks of Reynisdrangar in Iceland (my favourite 6 stop filter sacrificed itself to save the lens there); and it had taken a nasty jolt as I damaged both myself and my camera equipment during the split second it occurred to me that a slipway in Majorca might be slippery - at which point I was suspended in mid air over hard concrete. Following this series of near disasters I concluded the lens was cursed and resolved to limit its future use for the safety of my camera and myself.

You can't read about the final instalment in this sad trilogy, because I didn't get a shot worth sharing. Nobody is going to be interested in a bit of sky filled motion blur when Majorca has so much more to offer the visitor.
Somehow, and I'm not sure whether I consider this is good luck or just that Canon like to build gear that can take a bit of abuse, the lens has survived all of these incidents. It's just that I barely ever use it, a bad thing because unloved lenses begin to look unloved very quickly and I've already lost a couple of older (and fortunately less frighteningly priced) lenses to fungus. Nowadays if I ask it to auto focus it groans a bit, tries whirring halfheartedly for a moment or two in a pathetic attempt to persuade me it's trying before it beeps at me plaintively as a red square appears on the viewfinder. It's a bit like having an elderly overweight dog that looks at the beach it used to bound across effortlessly before turning to gaze back at me as if to say "Nah! I'll just sit here. You go on without me. I'll be alright"
So last night I decided the old dog was getting some exercise. I'd been here with Lee a couple of months earlier on a superb evening when the beach was empty at low tide, patterns all over the sand with hundreds of tiny pools of seawater trapped in them. On that evening my attempt to catch a series of panels for a panorama had failed - they usually do with seascapes - but I reasoned I might get a decent result with the wide angle lens, which does a better job of getting a sharp image from back to front in any case. Or at least it does when it wants to play. Lee has told me half a dozen times about the place he recommends for a repair. I'm not very organised though.
Of course the beach had no such tiny pools on this occasion, and naturally the shot I've shared with you was taken at 33mm meaning I could have taken it with my much more compliant 24-70mm lens. But still, the old dog led me to this composition long after sunset, although the sense of utter calm is a lie because a large and noisy family had decided to invade my space and were standing right behind me throwing stones into the pool for a real dog called Spencer to race in after, something he did with a deal of enthusiasm. At some point I sensed Spencer sniffing the backs of my legs, but I pretended not to notice. Eventually and to my lasting relief, Spencer and his humans moved on to torment some other oddball loner and left this one to his own company.
But the old dog had won the day, and during the session the other two lenses remained in the bag untouched. I came away in almost total darkness feeling chastened by the experience, which had reminded how good this lens will be when I finally get around to sending it off to be repaired. I'd better phone Lee and get him to tell me who to use for a seventh time then.

Un fitto reticolo di canali del XVII secolo, ponti, cortili nascosti e case tradizionali olandesi. Dopo Amsterdam, è la città con più canali dei Paesi Bassi
Leiden is a lively university city in South Holland, famous for its picturesque canals, rich history, and the oldest university in the Netherlands. A dense network of 17th-century canals, bridges, hidden courtyards, and traditional Dutch houses, it is the city with the most canals in the Netherlands after Amsterdam.
Beautiful landscapes of Utah and they have so many wonderful variations with exquisitely stunning perspectives...Captured when light from the storm was over lighting up these!
LOFOTEN February 2018
Another one from my travel to the Lofoten Islands by Hurtigruten coming from Tromsö. The wind was so strong they could not guarantee to go into Stamsund harbor. So I left the ship in Svolvaer and took the bus to Leknes.

CLIFFS OF MOHER | IRELAND
At the Moher Cliffs you get 3 Options. Stay at the Center and the viewpoints there and share it with hundreds of people or you take one of two hikes along the cliff-tops. (this was shot along the way to Doolin)
Just after the first kilometer you'll find yourself nearly alone with this beautiful coastline. We sat on top at this point, had some bread with smoked goat-cheese we bought earlier that day and had a great picnic there, away from anybody else.
