I’ll be writing more about the various locations in the coming time. This time it’s about our visit to Königssee and subsequently Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden and the Zauberwald. A truly […]

Fanore Beach – Peace, Space and Patterns in the Sand Between the rugged limestone hills of The Burren and the Atlantic Ocean lies one of the most special beaches on the Irish west coast: Fanore Beach. While most travellers drive straight to the Cliffs of Moher (read more about that here), here you’ll find peace […]
Cliffs of Moher – The Impressive Coast of County Clare Along the west coast of Ireland, where the Atlantic Ocean relentlessly pounds against the rocks, the Cliffs of Moher rise impressively from the sea. These imposing cliffs are among Ireland’s most famous natural attractions – and with good reason. The steep walls, rising up to […]
Inisheer – The Quiet Island of the Aran Islands Off the west coast of Ireland, where Atlantic waves crash against the rocks, lie the Aran Islands – three rugged islands where life seems to move at a different pace. Inisheer (in Irish: Inis Oírr) is the smallest of the three and also the most intimate. […]
Himmelbjerget – The Autumn Colours Around Silkeborg’s Lakes In the heart of Jutland, not far from the charming town of Silkeborg, lies Himmelbjerget – literally “The Sky Mountain”. At 147 metres it’s no Alpine peak, but in the Danish landscape it feels like a summit of significance. From the top you have a breathtaking view […]

In the early morning, a thin mist often hangs over the grass, while the first […]
For me, autumn is the season of beautifully colored forests. Everywhere you look there are wonderful scenes. But autumn is also the time for small wonders. As forests fill with warm colors and the air often feels damp and fresh, mushrooms start to appear everywhere. Sometimes hidden among the moss, sometimes proudly standing in the […]
Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse – Photography in Wind and Sand On the rugged west coast of Jutland, high above the sea and dunes, stands the iconic Rubjerg Knude lighthouse. It’s one of the most photographed places in Denmark – and for good reason. The lighthouse towers above the sand and waves, seemingly in constant battle with […]
Autumn may well be the most enchanting season for photographers. Forests turn into a sea of red, gold and orange, and everywhere colorful leaves give the landscape a warm glow. A single image of autumn leaves can evoke an entire feeling: silence, beauty and transience. As the summer crowds disappear, peace returns to nature. This […]
Autumn is perhaps the most magical season to explore the mountains. While many people immediately think of countries like Austria or Switzerland, the Dolomites in Northern Italy are one of the best locations for autumn photography in Europe. The combination of rugged mountain peaks, golden larches, and tranquil mountain lakes makes this UNESCO World Heritage […]
