Finally I have photographed again. Except for some family photos, my camera hadn’t been out of the bag for a month. Corona, bad weather and too busy. Yesterday we managed to go to Wildlands in Emmen for half a day. I was able to take quite a few pictures. After a foggy start, the weather READ MORE

Afternoon at the Apenheul
The nice thing about a subscription to a zoo is that you simply go there. Especially when it is not far away. A visit to the Apenheul when the weather is nice, is possible. I enjoyed the weather, the walk and the animals. I did not take many good pictures. But that doesn’t matter. There READ MORE
High-key September
Today was the last day of a wonderful long weekend. Time to visit zoos and edit photos. In September I went to 3 zoos and all 3 are represented here. If you follow me longer, then you know I love monochrome. They are often animal portraits on a black background. Low-key photos. More recently I READ MORE
Rheine looks back at you
Yesterday I was in Naturzoo Rheine. It was wonderfully quiet, the weather was good and I had fun taking photographs. In short, it was a nice day! When you are in the zoo you sometimes wonder: who is looking at whom? Today Rheine also looked at me and through the photos also at you. See READ MORE
Faces in Osnabrück Zoo
Yesterday I went to Zoo Osnabrück. I had big plans to shoot, but I was on my way home after 2.5 hours. I have traveled longer than photographed. Unfortunately, I had a sore foot. Zoo Osnabrück is not suitable for visitors with limited mobility. Even though I only saw part of the zoo this time, READ MORE
Together in black and white
Just a series of photos that show togetherness. Caring, loving, being there for each other. And that in black and white.
Gorilla gorilla gorilla
The title of this blog is “Gorilla gorilla gorilla“. No, that is no mistake. It is the scientific name for the Western lowland gorilla. I’m posting a lot of photos of Western lowland gorillas taken in the Apenheul. There are only 8 gorillas left of the group, since the previous silver back moved to a READ MORE
Cheetah
Summer break and therefore a lot of time to photograph and edit photos. I have visited quite a few zoos in the past few weeks, including two times Allwetter Zoo in Münster. A beautiful zoo with beautiful animals. There are several cheetahs that have a lot of space. Of course I had to photograph them READ MORE
Another day at the Apenheul
Last Thursday I should be working for a day (in the middle of my vacation). That was canceled, so it was a day in Apenheul. Very sad of course ….. hahaha. No lovely of course, I took a lot of photos again. To avoid crowds I took a reservation in the first time block. So READ MORE
New “On black”
Summer break, so I have time for photo editing. Returned to a technique that I often used a while ago. Animal portraits on a black background.
