Went to the forest with a single lens: a 70-200 f2.8. Wanted to test out of if I can limit myself to using just that. On a Crop Camera that is quiiiite the long lens.
But hey, challenges, right?
Where the sky hits the … sky
Orange and Blue, the perfect combination
Lone Sparrow
Hiding Cormorants
“You cant see me!”
Had quite the effective fishing trip this guy. With filled belly he had hard time taking off. Especially because the plumage is soaked completely :)
Middle Spotted Woodpecker II
While they dont leave in winter somehow i mostly “catch” them in the spring. They are kinda hard to come by.
Highland Cattle
Ohhgosh it’s no Bird! – But still it’s Berlin. They are used to keep open areas.. open. So grassland and swamps are not overwhelmed by trees. Some other species depend on that. So – still kinda related ;)
Sunset Berlin
This glowing red thing is about to hit the ground.
More Cormorant
I was walking around a Lake in Berlin, beautiful sunset. But its damn cold, my hands freeze holding the metal lense… A single cormorant was fishing.
Unfortunetly i cut the wing.. but in the action it’s hard todo, right?
Berlin – Unter den Linden
Unter den Linden (Under the LimeTrees) is street connecting Brandenburger Tor with Alexanderplatz in Central Berlin.

Some Fireworks in Berlin
Mine? Mine?
If some gull finds something every other gull NEEDs it.
Some Tits
Look, these are some nice great and blue tits!
Green Windows
Whaaats this ? Well yep, usally i post birds and nature, but i used to make all kind of things. So now this. Old pictures though :)
Fog and Birds
There are some birds in this shot ;)
Red-backed shrike
Red-backed shrike like to use to thorns to kill and “store” insects. Usally those from plants. They start to like all kind of different spikes as well to use for this purpose.
Haria – The vale of thousand palms
Another nice view over the island of lanzarote. This time the vale of thousand palms and the village Haria. The legend tells that every time a new girl is born new palm grow.s
Mirador del Rio – Lanzarote
Wonderful view from Mirador del Rio (Lanzarote) over to the Island of La Graciosa.
Jameos del agua
A series of vulcanic caves the artist César Manrique transformed into houses, theaters and overall just art.
Gran Canaria Harbor
During our tour to the canary island we saw some really nice clouds :) I tried myself on some smaller HDR Panoramic Image, its still a lot of work with Lightroom.
Long-eared owl
We found this (and 4 others) hiding on trees on a small graveyard in Austria.
