Captured in the Azalea and Rhododendron Park of Kromlau, a 200-acre landscaped park in Gablenz, Germany, built in the nineteenth century.
I took the image because it looks like every tree had a face and was watching me while I was taking the image.

Dinner in the Jungle
Vineyard snail in search of food. I discovered the snail on the balcony of our holiday flat in La Rochelle, France. As the floor was covered with artificial grass, I put a lettuce leaf on the lawn for the snail. It accepted it with thanks.
To be able to take a picture of the snail, I lay flat on the ground and waited for the right moment.
Castle Gluecksburg
Taken during a rainy day on the Baltic Coast.
I just liked the way how the Castle Gluecksburg was mirrored on the surface of the calm lake!
Veil Falls in the Ammer Valley
Today, I spent a visit to the Veil Falls in the Ammer Valley. The Ammer Valley offers great opportunities for almost all photographers. Let be Landscape photographers, wildlife photographers or Nature Photographers. Within 40 meters I was able to capture photos of birds, mushrooms or waterfalls.
Here I provide for you a small selection of the captured images. I will post further images as soon as I have processed them all back at home. Until then, I hope you enjoy the images!

The Isle of Fehmarn – Impression from the Northern Coast
Day 137 of my 365 Photo Challenge.
This time, another Sea view of the Isle of Fehmarn.
For this image, I visited the northern coast of Fehmarn. Long and empty beaches were inviting for endless walks.
There, you can feel the flair of the Baltic coastal landscapes, particularly intensively.
I especially liked the in the wind moving grass of the beach, which contributed to the idyllic atmosphere.
Isle of Fehmarn – Coastal Salt Marshes
Day 132 of my 365 Photo Challenge.
I spent another day on the island of Fehmarn.
This time I visited the nature reserve Westmarkelsdorfer Huk, which is located in the north-east of Fehmarn.
Here you will find the ideal conditions for nature and landscape photography.
Especially the salt marshes found my attention,
These dry out almost entirely at low tide and cover the surface with a particular pattern.
Vanessa atalanta – Enjoying the autumn sunshine
Day 131 of my 365 Photo Challenge.
I am still staying on the island of Fehmarn. The weather is fantastic and invites you to do nature photography. I visited again the nature reserve “Wallgau” in the west of the island.
This time I concentrated on insects, where I caught this splendid specimen of an Admiral butterfly, which was busy grazing the autumn plants and flowers.
Fortunately for me, he always took long breaks on the flowers. So I had the time to choose an optimal angle for the shot.
I think I really succeeded with this shot!
Gallinago gallinago – Let us see what I get today for breakfast!
Day 130 of my 365 Photo Challenge.
The motive of this picture is the snipe, which I photographed in the nature reserve “Wallgau” on the island of Fehmarn.
The nature reserve offers ideal conditions for wildlife photographers with its professionally designed hiding places.
From relatively close surroundings, you can observe and photograph the rich birdlife for hours.
Here the link to the website of the waterbird nature reserve “Wallgau”.
I wish you much fun with a future visit!
Rana esculenta – Oh, look who’s watching
Day 129 of my 365 Photo Challenge
Another excursion to the local nature reserves on the island of Fehmarn
Today I discovered a pond full of frogs, which use the excellent weather conditions for extensive sunbathing.
In the beginning, it was not so easy to spot the little comrades on the water surface between all the plants. After I spotted the first one, it was a piece of cake!
It’s great to see how animals fit perfectly into their environment!
Araneus diadematus – Awaiting lunch to arrive
Day 128 of my 365 Photo Challenge.
Today’s photo shows the garden cross spider, which I discovered during my renewed visit to the Wallnau reserve of the German Nature Conservation Association along a circular path.
The cross spider was enthroned in the middle of the web and had a considerable size. Fortunately, spiders in Germany are known to be harmless to humans.
Anyway, I was very impressed by it!
