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
Rhinos
Today I went to Burgers Zoo again. Main reason: now really photograph animals in their environment and if possible on the move. The weather was beautiful. It was cold though. But I was lucky. There was a lot to see in the Safari area. My first post of today’s photos is about rhinos. In Burgers READ MORE
Flowers in Burgers Bush
If people go to a zoo, then of course they mainly go for animals. But what you should also really look at are the beautiful flowers! So many beautiful things can often be seen in butterfly gardens and tropical accommodation for animals. I share a selection of flower photos that I took in Burgers Bush. READ MORE
Zebras in Burgers Safari
Last week I went to Burgers Zoo. While I was there I thought: I’m going to take a different approach to photography. If you follow me longer, then you know that I mainly make many portraits. Sometimes a complete animal is photographed, the environment even less often. The goal on that day was: photos of READ MORE
Barbary macaques
Barbary macaques are macaques that you encounter on the rock of Gibraltar, but also in many zoos. When they are young, they are small wrinkly little men with large floppy ears. Very funny and cute. Then they become romping little teenagers who play wild games. On nice summer days they like to play in the READ MORE
Gorilla portraits
The Apenheul is now closed. Too bad we have to wait so long before it is open. Fortunately I still had a large number of unprocessed photos. This series of portraits was made on October 23, the last visit in 2019. Finally I started getting the hang of taking pictures with the 150-500 mm lens. READ MORE
