TITLE: Fern Studies

When I am exploring nature - or when I am just on my way to somewhere - I keep noticing small details, unusual perspectives, reflections, or light falling at an interesting angle.

I firmly believe that paying attention to detail, to small factors matter. With my nature detail pictures I want to illustrate that not only the "big picture" matters. Often it is the attention to detail that makes a venture successful, that leads to advance in engineering, medicine, etc. I walk around in life with eyes wide open to discover not only how beautiful for example the entirety of a flower or a tree is but how a little detail contains as least much beauty.

Ferns - as fractals - are a good example where beauty lies in the detail.
