In these “foxy times” I went for a trip to Dovre Mountains in the central part of southern Norway to photograph the Arctic Fox. Only a few years ago this would be almost impossible, the species was nearly extinct in Norway. Thanks to a successful – but still fragile – project started in 2007, the population now is growing.
This summer finally it was time visiting the volcanic islands of Galapagos. The archipelago counting 13 islands is distributed on either side of the Equator in the Pacific Ocean about 900 km west of continental Ecuador in South-America and is very much basis for Charles Darwin’s studies and conclusions leading to his evolution theory published in his book On the Origin of Species published in 1859
This summer I once again was on Svalbard. This was my fourth trip to this arctic archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, constituting the northernmost part of Norway and midway between mainland and the North Pole. Svalbard is unique, and going there really is an experience and a memory for life, at any season, for anyone! Are you up to nature photography as well, I can tell it is every nature photographer’s paradise! The wildlife, scenery and light is spectacular!
Selected from 9,000 images, it is a pleasure to let you know that my low angle backlight image of a hippo bull has been Highly Commended in the Mammals category in Asferico International Nature Photography Competition 2013.
Selected from 18,450 images, I am delighted to let you know that my image “Herring Gull” has been Highly Commended in the Moving Nature category in Glanzlichter European Nature Photographer of the Year 2013.
In February this year I once again was in Kenya. This was my 12th trip over the years to different countries in Africa, and this time the main goal was Maasai Mara and the Cheetah. And we were lucky to follow the cats during both stalking and hunts, giving us great possibilities for having nice shots.
At Gallery Schee at Hov every Saturday from 9 AM to 16 PM during the period of 19th January to 23rd March, I will have nature photograps on display. The exhibition will present wild life images I have taken in Norden, including a taste of India and East Africa. Read more
In November this year I was in Samburu National Park in Central Kenya and Maasai Mara National Reserve in Southern Kenya. Together with high class Samburu and Maasai guides, two weeks’ outing gave some great encounters with the big cats of Africa: Cheetahs, leopards and lions, but also a rich variety of other wildlife and birds.
At this year’s September trip to Dovrefjell I was guide for an international group of wildlife photographers; Danny Green (UK), Yann Muzika (Japan/France) and Tom Dyring (Norway). The goal at Dovre Mountain was, of course, the Musk Ox.
At this year’s Moose Festival in Dokka in Oppland, taking place Friday 7th to Sunday 9th September, I have been invited to have an exhibition.
