2018 B-Sides part II
Monday, 20 January 2020
Hello again, everyone ... Today I would like to serve you the missing second series of mixed leftovers from 2018. So here you are :) This set of B-Sides just contains images from Austria.
Some winterly crystal magic captured already two years ago at sunrise.
Two Yellowhammers busy feeding on the seeds of a Birch.
A little morning delight on my way to the Lady's Slipper habitat.
Mystic mood on a rainy day.
Some creek photography in winter. Since the sun is always pretty low at this time of the year, the light can be rather appealing all day long.
I guess everyone who owns my 2019 calendar already knows this image.
Another one of 2018's amazing Blood Moon.
Since European Pond Turtles are the only native tortoises in Central Europe, every sighting is very exciting.
A field of flowers makes a great foreground infront of some very gentle alpenglow.

2018 B-Sides part I
Wednesday, 15 January 2020
Welcome to my 200th blog post. Crazy, isn't it? Anyway ... there are still a few quite different images from 2018, which didn't fit into any of my previous blog entries. But nevertheless I would like to display some of them here as of now. The pictures are pretty mixed-up and in this first set they all have been taken either in Austria or on Corsica, France. Hope you like this little potpourri.
The stunning color of the Blood Moon matched pretty well to the color of Mars.
Montane detail of some of the highest summits in this country.
A handheld snapshot during one of my Alpine Ibex trips showing Austria's biggest glacier.
A Roe Deer in early dawn on a small open meadow behind some dense bushes.
During our stay on Corsica, we spent some time looking for Mouflons and I'm pretty happy we could finally spot a few. Mouflons are only native to Corsica and Sardinia but have been introduced to different countries in Central Europe for hunting purposes.
If you look very closely, you can see, that the fish seemed to gather around the bird, which is pretty fascinating to me, because they're actually the prey the Cormorant is looking for.
I little detail discovered during my Lady's Slipper sessions in 2018.
What a gorgeous and mainly unaffected scenery in Lower Austria.
Unknown peak during a lovely winter setting in Tyrol.

Fairy lands part III - New Zealand part IX
Monday, 13 January 2020
It's time for the third and last set of my Fiordland images. As mostly I hope the pictures can speak a little bit for themselves and it's not necessary to write that much. Just one more thing to say: Beside enjoying the overwhelming beauty of the natural world there, it was such a huge delight to witness the excitement of our son during all the hikes, especially about the forests and the sounds of the birds. So enriching for all of us.
Wonderful elevated wetland above the rainforest.
There are literally thousands of temporary waterfalls on all the steeps slopes which are coming down the walls all of a sudden after some heavy rainfalls.
Super lovely light and colors on a super rainy day.
Fog is always a great pleasure for me when it comes to forest photography.
The colors of the moss above the dense forest are quite different to the ones in lower areas.
Most of the time the skies are coverd in thick clouds ...
... but every now and then it also clears up.
Most areas of the forests are rather impenetrable and so hiking trails are sometimes a good opportunity to set up the tripod.
One of the wet entrances to this wonderland.
