I just love this kind of untouched environment with all the weathered trees.
Also highly commended by the jury, but this time in the landscapes category is my image "Wasp Waist".
The entire festival is of superb quality in every sense. Beside the numerous wonderful exhibitions and the large trade fair for (nature) photography equimpent there were many fantastic and inspiring lectures held by people like
Hans Strand,
Sandra Bartocha,
Alexander Badyaev and so on. And the organization of the whole event is just flawless.
All in all I'm super excited that I could be part of it, see some old friends again and make some new. This was definitely not my last time in Lünen.

While I'm still posting some spring pictures her, autumn is already on the horizon. Although I will certainly miss the warm summer nights, I'm already looking forward to the most moody season with all its colorful and grey days. ... bye for now, see you soon!
Patience required. I could observe the mouse jumping over a little branch a few times. I tried my luck for a couple of days, but finally couldn't get the shot I was hoping for.
