TITLE: white beauty

Overnight it had snowed, even for the day more snow showers were announced. Everything indicated that the Black Forest would turn into a winter wonderland. On the morning drive towards Schauinsland, however, disillusionment soon spread: in the valleys hardly any snow, even on the Feldberg the firs were green (even if there was a lot of snow otherwise). Several times I thought about turning around and going home. Then, just two kilometers from the finish: the first white trees.

I am a nature photographer - I mainly shoot landscapes, animals and plants.

My goal is to make moody moments last. Colorful sunsets, magical fog moods and the nature in the change of the seasons belong to the highlights in photography for me.

I live in southern Germany on the beautiful Lake Constance, where I have some excellent fotospots right outside the front door. The German, Austrian and Swiss Alps are not far away either. But I also like traveling to more distant destinations around the world.
