I could hardly believe it as I encountered this hoopoe last spring in the floodplains.
A small iceberg facing the wall of ice which finally released it after thousands of years.
The same ridge as in the first picture of this set, but on another day. To my pleasure the animals used this path not only once.
As you probably noticed in the title, there will also be a second series of my 2016 red deer rut pictures. I have some more, I would like to share ;) Stay tuned and have a great weekend!
Two-headed flowers are actually very common.
Summer is near ;)
My main goal when it comes to ibexes is capturing them in small scale to also show a lot of their amazing habitat in the frames. And since they make such awesome silhouettes I prefer to photograph the animals as silhouettes. But I guess you already noticed that ;) So, I think about 90% of my alpine ibex pictures are small scale silhouette shots. But to give you some variety I also try to show some of my other images here. And of course these mammals are also extremely fascinating when you take a closer look at them.
Another lovely scenery created by dew and sunlight.
I was very happy to spot my first owls in the park this spring.
Again I enjoyed some very relaxed days of wandering around, observing and, of course, also taking images. Hopefully you also enjoyed this little trip to my news blog. Part II will be online soon, I guess. So stay tuned and have a great Sunday everyone.
The woods of Lower Austria at the peak of their colorfulness.
Crazy patterns of lichen on some of the rocks.
In spring, when the Wild Garlic is in full bloom, the odor is quite strong.
Another Caracara taking off in the evening.
An image from “my” new Upper Austrian location ...
This younger one was a little separated from his herd and looked a bit confused to me as the night fell in. But finally he managed to reunite with the flock.
Some fresh fern sprouting between the rocks at the lakeside.
This image shows a chess flower at the Hungarian border where most of them grow much taller than the ones in Styria.
Thick rain clouds right before the night fell in.
… and the complementary colors of the moss covered rocks and the red leaves make great subjects.
Again we witnessed a stunning colored sky spectacle on one of the numerous lakes. This time right as the moon rose.
A big buck staring me down.
The shallow waters make it very easy to cross the river every now and then.
Put on your best dress and place yourself in the best light ;)
After a wonderful and clear full moon night some lovely clouds appeared as the sun came up.
Superb conditions for the creation of some backlit photographs.
Hope I could give you a little insight what it looks like at this wonderful lake. But I guess at least most of the Upper Austrian people already know the place ;) Cheers.
The night falls in in the forest of the Snowdrops.
… where also lots of other orchids, like this White Helleborine, can be found in early summer.
Shooting from a very low angle away from the low sun can also create very interesting sceneries.
In the meantime I was working on some other stuff, which will be shown here someday, of course ;) Thanks for dropping by again. Have a good day!
