Burgers Zoo, Cats

I just LOVE cats, big or small.

I went on Sunday with Thomas to the Burgers Zoo in Arnheim, Netherlands, and we had a great day. The zoo is just amazing, it is huge and provides great oportunities to see and photograph the animals. And again, I love cats :-D








The rest of the animals will have to wait. I am in a hurry to the airport since the family has finally managed to fly back from Spain and I will be late.

P.S: If you wonder why there is no color, just check the work from Nick Brandt. I am a big fan of him.

Beeeee

Today somehow I have managed to put some time into cleaning up the hard drive. Eventhough I am just focusing on 2010 I already have way too many pics. I have found this one from the last visit to the Rhein. It is nothing special, but I like it.




Spring is finally here and the weather is getting warmer. So it is time to start the outdoor photo season. Stay tuned.

Peacocks

A couple of weeks ago we visited a Park in the nearby city Julich. They have a small zoo and had some peacocks walking around. There were 2 males on a roof fighting and I manage to get a couple of half decent shots. The light was quite bad and the trees in the background a bit distracting. I have tried to remove the background but there is still some work to do. I hope you like it anyway, click on it to see it bigger.

City sheep

Today I managed to get out and shoot some pictures. The weather forecast was very good an I was expecting a nice sunset. But it got cloudy and the colours were not really interesting. The sheep are back again by the river, and they have babies, so they make a nice foreground.

The icy road

Spring is almost here, temperatures are rising and the first flowers are blooming. So it is a good time to remember the winter. I took the picture during the Christmas vacation in Spain. It was very windy, -6 degrees and I had no gloves. At this point the road was really icy and dangerous. We were tryig to turn around but there was no place to do it. We still needed to drive up for a while and the way down was not really fun.

I have no time lately for any photography, at the moment life it is just work and kids. I hope it will get better in the near future.
