This morning I went birding at a pond near my house. I was early and hoped to be alone there. I was not, there were several fishermen. That was OK. I was there with my Tamron 150 – 600 mm, hoping to shoot some waterfowl. And I did, but after a while more people started READ MORE

Orchids
In the past 6 weeks I have barely photographed. Because of corona I could go nowhere. I am also busy at school because of corona, because as an ICT I arrange distance teaching. Today I wanted to do something again. And that was allowed inside. Seven of the orchids I have are in bloom. With READ MORE
Monkeys in Allwetterzoo
Sharing a selection of photos of monkeys I took in February this year in Allwetterzoo. I would love to go there, but because of corona all zoos are closed. Too bad! These photos were taken here:
Asian elephant with baby
In August 2018 I made this photo of a beautiful Asian elephant with her baby in ZOO Planckendael in Mechelen. There I saw a beautiful group of elephants who were very active and enjoying a bath. I made a post about that before, you can view it here. What I regretted was the concrete background. READ MORE
Chimpanzee
A blog with a series of photos of one chimpanzee. These pictures are made in ZOOM Erlebniswelt in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. If you have been following me for a while, you know that I love great apes. Therefore I was disappointed when saw no chimpanzees in the enormous enclosure. I thought; lets just sit down in READ MORE
One tiger photo …
I took this photo at Burgers Zoo last Friday. I only photographed outside. The weather was pleasant and the expectation for the coming period is moderate. You have to strike while the iron is hot. The photo fits in with my plan to photograph more background and animals in motion. But I also liked it READ MORE
Faces at Osnabrück Zoo
Yesterday I went to Osnabrück Zoo for the second time. The first time was in 2018. A large beautiful zoo, where most animals are beautifully spacious and well-housed. In addition, new enclosures are being built. There are many animal species: beautiful primates, big cats, etc. I have been staring at the chimpanzee for a long READ MORE
Forest man
A post with photos of Orangutans taken at Allwetterzoo in Münster, Germany. A beautiful modern zoo, where animals are spacious and beautifully housed. Both inside and outside. Because many paths are covered, this zoo lives up to its name. Suitable for all types of weather. The name orangutan comes from the Malaysian Orang Hutan which READ MORE
The king of Burgers Zoo
During my visits to Burgers Zoo it is not always possible to take pictures of the Lions. Photos that are worth the effort. Lions are simply very lazy most of the day. Just like all cats. This time I was lucky. Initially there was little to see and the windows were very foggy. I then READ MORE
Wildebeest
Wildebeest or Gnoes in Burgers Safari. When I was editing these photos, I realized that I had never photographed them before. I always thought they were ugly animals. I also never had a good lens to make something out of it. Also, I realized that I actually don’t know anything about these animals. Except that READ MORE
