  The Pink Grasshopper Not so long ago, one of my photo-pals found a pink grasshopper. To be very honest: his special find made me a little bit jealous. After all it is just about the closest thing to a pink elephant! At the same time, I realized how rare […]

Beep – beep – beeeeeep! In the middle of the night (at least, that how it feels) I’m rudely awakened by a push message on my phone. I almost delete the message without taking a peek, but then curiosity takes over. Fortunately, since a large group of Snakes Head Fritillary […]

Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)   Did you know…… Flocks of several thousands of starlings move through the sky, like they are doing a dance together. They gather around sunset and create complexe shapes. This phenomenon is sort sol (Danish for “Black Sun”) If a predator bird enters the flock, the […]

I have a this much younger little brother, a so called afterthought. As we speak, this little brother is almost twice my size and weight, but you know how it works with little baby brothers… Once upon a time, when my little brother actually was little, he bended my ears […]

Yawning Tree frog
I bet most fellow nature photographers assumed – just like I did- tree frogs to be hugely enterprising, energetic and cheerful creatures. Skilfully hopping from blackberry to blackberry, climbing in trees like professional circus artists, swinging on stalks, as if they were climbing frames and sliding along thick blades like […]

Thinking about nature photography you probably picture fresh green meadows, meandering rivers, foggy forests or something like that. At least I did.
