I love to ramble/explore with camera in hand, both near and far; back roads are the best. Sharing beauty from around the world. All photos are mine, unless reposted. Motto: Take the day you are given and find the beauty in it! ✈️🚗📸

Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) I never tire of seeing this enigmatic bird that is most responsible for my journey into wildlife photography and this is the culmination of that obsession #birding #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #nature #kingfisher

Another Bee-eater species. This time the European Bee-eater taken today near Pinoso Spain. Reasonable numbers now starting to arrive. Such stunning birds to have back at last. #birds #birdsseenin2026 #birding #birdphotography #naturephotography

A quiet lake, ringed by forest. A boat heads out in the early morning. Low clouds obscure the mountains behind. Scattered buildings and docks on the lakeshore.

On the same beach there were some melted snow patches on the black sand which gave nice reflections of the Mælifell mountain. Fauskasandur #Iceland, March 2026

A snow-covered pointy mountain is reflected on a black sand beach which is mostly covered in water/wet sand that is very reflective. There is a small patch of the black sand in the middle, which looks brown in the sun. Above is blue sky and to the left there is some sea fog/sun glow.

Raubtier den Atem @freikampf.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

Diese Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografie zeigt einen älteren Mann mit hellem Haar, der im Schneidersitz auf dem flachen Rand eines großen, runden Brunnens sitzt. Er blickt ruhig in die Kamera und hält eine Pfeife im Mund, während neben ihm eine dunkle Reisetasche steht. Der Brunnen im Hintergrund ist mit kunstvollen, floral gemusterten Kacheln verkleidet. Aus dem Brunnen ragen mehrere metallene, pilzartige Skulpturen empor, von denen Wasser in feinen Schleiern herabfällt. Die Szene ist an einem belebten städtischen Platz aufgenommen, was durch die angedeuteten Gebäude und Bäume im Hintergrund deutlich wird. Das helle Tageslicht lässt das fließende Wasser glitzern und erzeugt eine entspannte, fast zeitlose Atmosphäre inmitten des urbanen Treibens.
