Schleiereule

Die Schleiereule ist eine in Mitteleuropa weit verbreitete Eulenart. Die dämmerungsaktiven Vögel verbringen den Tag reglos und vor sich hin dösend an einem ruhigen und geschützten Platz, so wie dieses Exemplar.

The barn-owl is a owl-type widespread in Central Europe. The twilight-active birds spend the day motionless and dozing in a quiet and protected place, like this one.

Better some sparrows in your hands…

There’s a German saying: “Better to have a sparrow in your hands, rather than a dove on your roof”. This French Gentleman near Sacre Ceur in Paris in 1976 was obviously happy to act accordingly. This snapshot brought me my first photographic award and made me both proud and happy.

Glaskugel

Was macht man, wenn das Wetter zu schlecht ist? Man spielt in der warmen Stube. So wie ich, mit einer Glaskugel, verschiedenen Lichtquellen, Laserpointern und experimentiert ein wenig herum.

What do you do when the weather is too bad? You play in the warm room. Like me, with a glass ball, different light sources, laser pointers and experimenting around a bit.
