I love to photograph in my own neighbourhood. Just biking around,the wind in my hair and my bag on my carrier. No train-delay,caused by so called square wheels, cows on the rails or similar excuses. Unfortunately exciting nature is sparse around here. But with a little fantasy and lots of […]

Past year I spent a rather short, but quite intense period, watching three fox kits growing up. At least..that’s what I aimed at. I was so happy when I found them and -as you can imagine-I pictured these beautiful endless summer evenings with cute furry fox kits play-fighting in nice […]

Foxes are famous for their mouse jumps (that’s what it’s called in my language, I have no idea what the official term could be). With their very sensitive ears, they can hear a mouse, even when it’s hidden under a thick layer of snow. They listen, prepare…and jump. The rumour […]

Although foxes do have a bad image of being these naughty, ferocious animals, I have never, ever seen them show the slightest sign of aggression towards a human being. I have, however, seen some violent behaviour towards other foxes, but only for the very obvious reasons. Naturally, a fox will […]

I swear…lambs are totally nuts….! I recently biked along a meadow, when I saw some strange white movements from the corner of my eye. Some lambs were jumping around like crazy and for a moment I wondered if they might be suffering Mad Sheep Disease… But after watching them for […]

Just like you won’t understand a word, visiting a foreign country for the first time, it will take quite some time to master fox language. But the longer your stay in Fox Nation, the more you will understand their conversations. Of course you will never learn to speak flawless Fox, […]

Grooming Fox - Mother and Kit 4
Foxes have been notorious for decades, consistently put down as a symbol of trickery and deceit. Many of us are raised with fairy tales about this so called sly and ferocious animal and it payed off:  Even I was made to believe that foxes are scary and dangerous creatures. For […]

Young fox cub with prey 9
It must have been about two years ago when I met my first fox and it was love at first sight. I had always been fascinated by fairytale foxes, so well known for their slyness and intelligence. I’d never have dreamt though, that a real fox could be even much […]

Frogs are programmed quite simplistically: as soon as there’s any potential danger: dive! Logical enough, but a bit sad for the photographer the happy party ends as soon as (s)he enters… The enthusiastic quacking abruptly dies and the ditch looks as if there have never been any frogs and never […]

Thinking about nature photography you probably picture fresh green meadows, meandering rivers, foggy forests or something like that. At least I did. So when I recently cycled to a deserted piece of land along the highway, my romantic image instantly got killed. This unsightly terrain was supposed to house a […]
