The Black One

By traveling to Kenya for the first time, it was my dream to see black rhinos in their natural habitat. Shortly after arriving in the magnificent Ol Pejeta Conservancy I saw two black rhinos in the open grassland. They were relaxed, but intensely observed me, the jeep and every movement we made. The bigger one had a very powerful look in his eyes which caught my attention. A rare, unique and unforgettable sight. Black rhinos are critically endangered. There are roughly only 5000 left in Africa, 745 are living in Kenya. At Ol Pejeta Conservancy they have the highest population of over 130. It is the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa. Definitely one highlight of my dream safari adventure in Kenya.

Come and Play with me

Come and play with me - One of the best experience on our trip to Tanzania. We were following the Great Migration. On that day our driver brought us to a waterhole where the migration was passing by. A lioness and her cubs were very relaxed as one of the cubs got bored and started playing with the zebras. He is still to young to hunt by himself, but he starts practicing. He walked up to the zebras very calm and just suddenly he started running and all zebras got scared and run away. The cub tried his same behavior like ten times. It was an unbelievable and unforgettable scenery.

Texan Sunset

The Texas state flower is the Bluebonnet. When this wildflower blooms you know winter is over and spring has arrived.

Morning Tranquility

On our last morning at @chobegamelodge we did a sunrise tour on the river. Wow, how beautiful it was. Such a different experience. This was definitely one of the most beautiful sunrises I have seen.

Where is my breakfast

Our 8 year old son had the great idea to go for cage diving with the great white shark. Of course we couldn't "resist". We drove down to Gaansbaai and did the trip with Marine Dynamics. After a short time the first ones came to the boat and I could got some great shots. But to go into the cage and see them up close is an incredible experience. Another highlight of our trip to South Africa.

Sunset@12 Apostels

A beautiful sunset over the Twelve Apostel at Port Campbell National Park, by the Great Ocean Road in Australia. It's a captivating place if you visit Australia. The Great Ocean Road west of Melbourne is one of the most beautiful shoreline drives in the world. It was such a joy to experience this area.

Diamond Beach II

Chunks of ice blocks from the glacier are floating through the Glacier Lagoon into the ocean. The ocean will bring them back to the black sand beach. The ice is so crystal clear that it looks like diamonds. That's the reason why this beach is called Diamond Beach.
