Last April I visited the Northern Gannets (Morus bassanus) on Helgoland. I spent almost a week watching their mating and bonding rituals and the tenderness between the breeding partners. It was so much fun - just sitting there and watching them ... there are still many pictures on my hard drive, but I can't bring myself to process them. Knowing that many of the beautiful birds I photographed in April died in the following months breaks my heart. This colony (as so many others) was severely hit by an outbreak of the Avian Flu in 2022.

Im letzten April habe ich die Basstölpel auf Helgoland besucht. Fast eine Woche lang habe ich die Seevögel und ihr Verhalten beobachtet. Besonders rührend war es zu sehen, wie zärtlich die Brutpartner miteinander umgingen. Ich habe noch so viele Fotos auf der Festplatte, aber ich kann mich im Moment nicht überwinden, sie zu bearbeiten. Viele der wunderschönen Vögel, die ich fotografiert habe, starben in den folgenden Monaten an der Vogelgrippe, nur wenige Küken überlebten. 2022 war kein gutes Jahr für diese Kolonie - hoffen wir, dass 2023 ein besseres wird!

It was simplicity that was the goal of this shot. A rock, a cloud, and the ocean. "Less is more", they say when it comes to life. Until it was discovered that a very wealthy individual coined the phrase, attempting to convince the less fortunate to accept their lot in life.

However, this simple phrase is true in photography. eliminating clutter does remove distractions. This is what the phrase is meant to illustrate. These are the simple goals that any photographer desires.

Shooting macro is incredible fun

Suddenly things are popping up

I see a person and a ball

What do you see?

(Obviously not easy to say anything here, as I see comments are coming but they keep disappearing all the time....)

Goals for 2025 by Christinedownsouth

I haven't got any grand travel plans for 2025. But that's OK as looking closer to home offers many possibilities. I would like to shoot more Jurassic Coast, Dartmoor and Cornwall.

And Somerset - I will be keeping a close eye on the redevelopment of this pier. I can't believe I have not shot Glastonbury Tor and then there is those skeleton trees near Exmoor.

So lots to think about and hopefully this Twixmas gloomy weather will pass. Please join me if anyone finds themselves down my way.

On another note will this Gavin and Stacey hype ever end? Only mentioning it as this is dead opposite Barry Island.
