Soft side part I - New Zealand part XIII

Saturday, 21 March 2020

(Since, as you all probably know already, my main goal is to raise awareness for the importance of wild nature by showing it in my images, it seems important to me to display some of the pictures, of course. Unfortunately I still just cannot find the time to write the articles I would like to here on my website for all my series of images. So I decided to show the upcoming sets of images just with a very few words instead of not showing them at all. Sorry for that. Hope you enjoy the pictures nevertheless and may they hopefully speak for themselves. And of course, your thoughts and feedback are welcome anytime.) The series you can see in this blog entry shows the first set of some impressions taken on different spots along New Zealand's rather calm east coast.

Very impressive birds in many ways. The Royal Albatross has a wingspan up to 3.3 meters, a life expectancy of 60 years and the young ones spend their first five years out on the open sea, before they find their lifelong partner and mate for the first time at the age between six and ten to raise just one chick.

The Royal Spoonbills share the habitat with the Royal Albatross.

Looking for dolphins in the early morning. Unfortunately the thick fog wasn't very helpful but provided a very moody atmosphere.

A New Zealand Fur Seal enjoys some of the very few sunbeams under the rainbow they created. Although the image might look quite cozy, the conditions were actually pretty nasty ...

... but we always had our cozy home, which gave us shelter for ten weeks. This is how it looked from the inside ;)

But of course, we spent most of the time open-air just enjoying the freedom and the beauty of the environment :) In this case we shared the beach with ...

... an impressive Sea Lion which finally woke up after hours of sleep and gave me the opportunity for an appealing image.

Hardly anything better than observing dophins while having breakfast.

Especially along the coasts, delightful details can be found on almost every step.

The series you can see in this blog entry shows the second set of some autumn images of Austria's smallest national park, the Thaya Valley National Park.

I was lucky enough to spot a few White-tailed Eagles during my last stay in the national park. Pretty impressive birds.

Big birds too, but way more common, of course.

Dead trees are always a good indicator for mainly unaffected nature.

Watching young Otters is probably one of my favorite activities ;)

Intimate late autumn forest scene.

Gorgeous light, gorgeous trees.

Soft mist wraps the valley in peace.

The setting sun hits the wonderful mixed forest on the Czech side of the park.

An anabranch of the Thaya River hidden behind some mossy tress.

The series you can see in this blog entry shows the first set of some autumn images of Austria's smallest national park, the Thaya Valley National Park.

For me, one of the most beautiful forest views I can remember and one of my 2019 favorite shots.

The fall foliage slowly disappears.

Of course, there are also Kingfishers along the Thaya River ...

... and it's also a typical habitat for Dippers.

The most popular view in the park to the Czech Republic.

One of Austra's very rare free running river sections.

Some moody morning mist brings even more silence into the scene.

I just love Otters. And since they're extremely hard to spot, every sighting is incredible exciting.

An other closer look to the gorgeous mixed forests of the park.
