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.
