Secret Whirlpool, Plitvice National Park, Croatia
For the third time I visited the unique scenery of waterfalls and turqoise water. The swirl of leaves was too slow to be visible to the naked eye.






Stelvio National Park
, Italy
The valleys are burried under thick fog while on the mountain tops Mother Nature is presentig herself as the greatest artist. October is a perfect month for a landscape photographer to travel through the Alps. Days are getting shorter, but the air is clear and the sun doesn't rise to high, as a result the light is suitable almost all day long.

Sunrise, Hohe Tauern National Park, Austria






Midnight Fairy Tale, Lofots, Norway

It was the first time for me beeing in northern Scandinavia in early summer, when days never end because the sun doesn't set for weeks. Prior to the journey I was a bit afraid of shooting less as a result of lacking dawn. My concerns were unnecessary, because six hours of magic light are more than enough for one day!





Stormy Evening, Golfo di Porto, Corsica, France





Thunderstorm, National Park Donauauen, Lower Austria

During a hike on a beautiful spring afternoon I was overtaken by a thunderstorm. In the hope for the sun shining through the dark clouds I didn't return to my car, but took shelter in the forest. The reward for my patience is this image. The bark of the trunk in the foreground was gnawed off by beavers.





At Piazza San Marco, Venice, Italy






Al Qasr Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai, United Arab Emirates





La Grande Arche at La Défense, Paris, France







Pico del Teide, Tenerife, Canary Islands
The highest mountain of Spain is the 12.189 ft high volcano Teide, which dominates the landscape of southern Tenerife. Its crater has a diameter of nearly 10 miles. The Teide is the third highest island-volcano on earth and is listed as an UNESCO World Heritage Natural Site.






Måbødalen, Hordaland, Norway
Light rain, 5°C. The overgrown rocks are slippery and demand my full concentration during walking. But I don't have much time bevor the night closes in and I want to reach the end of the valley by all means. I miss my hiking boots with the good sole, instead I waer my gumboots. 1000 feet high
rock faces end the deep valley and I am overwhelmed by the impressive view. I am overcome by a feeling of nothingness.

Lake Huron Sunset, Ontario, Canada
The unbelievable huge Lake Huron (60.000 square kilometers) is the second biggest of the 5 Great Lakes in Noth America. In late August I spent some time in an summer cottage on its north shore. Almost every evening I took the canoe and paddled to various small rocky islands enjoying the sunset.
