Venice - From dusk till dawn
Beautiful pictures from Venice, the city of palaces, canals and bridges. Away from the masses of visitors and outside the visiting hours of the day tourists, the lagoon city seems to be fallen out of time. In 13 atmospheric pictures, the proud city shows itself in the glory of the past centuries. You can see more pictures of Venice in my Gallery.
Burano - the colourful island
Burano, the small island in the lagoon of Venice is known for its colourful houses. Legend says that the colours were used by the fishermen to find their way home on foggy days - or when they were drunk. The colours of the houses are not chosen arbitrarily. For centuries it has been established that a new coat of paint must be applied for at the authorities and the colour must be agreed upon. You can see more pictures of Venice in my Gallery.
African Cats in impressive portraits
A highlight of a safari in Africa is the sighting of the big cats. At times, this allows for particularly expressive shots of the beautiful animals at a close range. This calendar contains 13 impressive large-format and high-resolution portraits of these fascinating elegant animals in their natural habitat. All of them were taken in the Masai Mara in Kenya, Africa’s most animal-rich game reserve.
Leopards in the wild
Leopards are the most beautiful cats of prey in Africa. Since they are loners and mostly hidden in bushes, they are difficult to find. This calendar contains unique pictures of these fascinating animals in the wild. All photos were taken in the wild in Kenya and Tanzania.
