Weekly Photo Challenge: Frame

Dennis

This weeks motto of the WordPress Photo Challenge is framed. I thought I participate with a photo that I shot in a local botanical garden. They have these beautiful overgrown areas with all kind of mixed plants and beautiful stone paths, but close to the exit they also have different smaller flowerbeds. They basically framed smaller flowerbeds with the stones around them, and in front of each flowerbed there are signs where you can learn about the flowers. I like this place, it’s pretty calm there, and they have lots of flowers, but it would be much more fun to … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Frame

Beautiful Schellbruch Hiking Trail

Dennis

Some hiking trails are so beautiful that I like to take photos of them. Above you can see a photo that I took during my hike through the Schellbruch Area in Lübeck. I was sadly running in the sun direction and there was too much front light, and since the lightning was frontal, my lens hood was no help. Anyway, I could fix the photo a little bit in Lightroom, although the front light is still visible, but now it looks like a cool effect or intentional. To avoid the whole problem, it’s usually better not to go hike in … Continue reading Beautiful Schellbruch Hiking Trail

Great Black Cormorant

Dennis

Here is a photo that I shot yesterday on my hike through the Schellbruch Area. It’s a great black cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) also known as great cormorant, black cormorant, large cormorant and black shag. It’s quite easy to find them here in and around Lübeck close to the Baltic Sea. I found them in and around several towns and villages in our federal state Schleswig-Holstein. If there is water, there is a good chance you will find cormorants. They like to be close to the sea, or you find them at rivers or even at the ponds in the city. … Continue reading Great Black Cormorant

African Sacred Ibis In Germany

Dennis

Above you can see a photo of a bird that I found during my hike through the Schellbruch Area in Lübeck. I saw five of them and some other hikers asked me if I would know what kind of bird it would be, when they saw me with my camera. And to be honest, I had absolutely no idea, and even at home the bird gave me headache because it was super hard to research the bird name, but I do now know what kind of bird it is. The problem however was that this is not a native bird … Continue reading African Sacred Ibis In Germany

White-Tailed Eagle Far Above Me

Dennis

Today I had a bit of luck again and I found an eagle. I started my hike at the Schellbruch Area, and then I saw the White-tailed eagle far above me that you can see in the photo of this post. I do already have a lot of experience to spot them in the heaven as I saw them many times. The big problem is that they often fly at a high altitude, but they fly or glide very slow. So, it’s easy to find out if it’s the White-tailed eagle, but it’s pretty difficult to take the photo because … Continue reading White-Tailed Eagle Far Above Me
