Wow – the summer is over and I haven’t written anything. Well, it has been a busy time. I am on a research trip in Great Britain and Ireland – trying to record the calls of Common Crossbills (Loxia curvirostra) for my PhD.

There is very few time to photograph. I have taken almost no photos, just a few of landscape. Nevertheless, here are some of them:

rm_160825_mg_6418 — I got up very early every morning and had the chance to see many sunrises and sunsets. This is a sunrise in southern England

rm_160823_mg_6351 — Here bracken (Pteridium aquilinum) photographed during sunset

rm_160823_mg_6345 — Forest in southern England in the evening

rm_160825_mg_6399 — Fellow Deer (Dama dama) early in the morning

rm_160826_mg_6540 — Northern Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) in Cornwall

Thailand, USA, Australia, New Zealand… some typical holiday destinations for many people. It is hip to go there, to be able to talk with the others who have been there. Reasons to visit these countries are often the amazing landscape and nature. At the same time, few people are aware of the beautiful wilderness in Europe, of the breathtaking landscapes, of the very special animals and the beautiful flowers.

For this reason, I thought about a project for a long time: I want to show this beauty, to make people aware, that it is not really necessary to travel always that far. To show that the beautiful places are right in front of our door or not far away. And to show, what we lost already and what we will loose, if we proceed in our way of life.

Within the scope of this project, I will present different areas in Europe, special animals or plants or just special places. I already started with some posts – and I will proceed.

Maybe, you get inspired by these places and next time, it is not Vietnam but the Balkan you travel to!
