A magical place, which I visited in September. The region is called Waldviertel, in the woodlands, north of the Danube River in Lower Austria. Breezy and cold even in hot summer. Dark blue, green, black, and rusty. The Ysperklamm gorge, impresses with a natural spectacle of clear, icy cold water that rushes over high rocks […]
In spring 2020, when I started actively with macro photography, I also started my activities in the Facebook group of FRAMES Magazine (https://readframes.com). Today I am very happy to tell you that I was invited to have my own small presentation of my work on the homepage of Frames Magazine and on its own Instagram […]
Whenever we went out for a walk with my son in Lviv, we tried to visit some local attractions. There is no zoo park, but a pound for animals which were abandoned or found wounded and hurt somewhere in danger. Two sanctuaries for such animals in Lviv, not far to reach, we visited very often. […]

Of the approximate 850 recorded bird species in South Africa, around 725 are resident birds (or, at least, annual visitors). This fact makes South Africa to a birding hotspot. Back to Europe I continued observing our home birds […]
This year we had to wait a very long time to see the first buds and blossoms in our parks in Lviv growing. Almost by the end of April the first daisy flowers and spring snowflakes came out and proclaimed the end of our nearly endless winter season. Some trees started flourishing a bit earlier. […]
When I travelled to Lviv first time in 1998, one of the first architectural pearls I recognised in the city centre, was the Chapel of Boim Family, neighbouring the Latin Cathedral. It is one of the most impressive buildings in the historical city centre. During the lockdown in 2020 I got the opportunity to take some photographs […]

Even the local parks close to my house were closed and only small parts of green areas between my home office, my apartment and the courtyard were available for nature photography. I […]
