Image of the month
Aspen groves in the distance
At times all we need is a brief glimpse
With fall season just around the corner it is about time to show you another of our favorite images from last year's trip to Colorado. It's a little bit different than the usual wide panoramic landscape from the Rocky Mountains, also pretty different from the usual vivid [...]
Tajinastes rojos in Tenerife
The amazing Tajinastes Rojos in Tenerife
We just came back from a wonderful 11-day trip to Tenerife. It was our first time on this Canary Island. During wintertime it is a popular tourist destination for people from the UK and Germany. We preferred heading there off-season between two public holidays [...]
Tajinaste Azul in Gran Canaria
The endemic Tajinastes Azul in full bloom
Last month we spent another wonderful week on the Canary Islands. This time we focussed on photographing wildflowers in the mountainous areas of Gran Canaria. By mid March the higher elevations and the slopes facing north and northeast (that's from where [...]
Wildflowers at Death Valley
Blooming Wildflowers at Death Valley
Sweet fragances, sweet memories. This month's image is dedicated to a very intense time we had at Death Valley National Park back in February/March 2016. Purple desert sand verbena (abronia villosa) were blooming at the remote Ibex [...]
Snow on the Red Rocks in Sedona
Early morning at the Red Rock Wilderness in Sedona
For us this is one of the most magic contrasts in nature: fresh white snow partly covering the red rocks in the American Southwest. The town of Sedona and its surrounding Red Rocks Wilderness can turn incredibly beautiful during wintertime. But this [...]
The blowhole Bufadero de la Garita
Happy NEW YEAR!
The Bufadero at La Garita in Gran Canaria was already selected as image of the month. Nevertheless it is such a fascinating subject to shoot that we can't help showing another picture from that place. This one [...]
Reynisdrangar at Vík í Mýrdal
Winter sunset at Reynisdrangar
Just like last year we spent again the holidays at Iceland. It seems like we can't get enough of dark winter days and nights. Yes, it might be true but blame it on the northern lights. ;-)
We had some nice "fireworks" again, the first one as soon as we arrived, just a couple of hours after [...]
Dancing Aspen Trees
Dancing in the sun - curved aspen trees
Here is one more from our recent trip to Colorado. In a small aspen grove near Telluride there are quite a few curved aspen trees. They look particularly beautiful and just like if they were inviting us to join them to dance and celebrate fall season in all its [...]
Leaf-Peeping in the Rocky Mountains
Colorful Colorado - enjoying the vibrant hues of autumn
We love to do "leaf-peeping" and we were really looking forward to this trip. It has been a decade now since our last trip to Colorado during fall season. But the Rocky Mountains are definitely one of the most scenic places during this time of the year. High and [...]
Sunset at the Alien Throne
Sky on fire after heavy rains
On our last photo trip, we did a lot of leaf-peeping in the Rocky Mountains, but we also spent some days in the Hanksville area, around Moab and in northern New Mexico. Steffen and I flew in from Frankfurt [...]
