Another trip to the Pyrenees for some vulture shooting. As in 2012, we had 2 days with a vulture feeding session seeing Griffon Vultures, Black Vultures and – of course – several Lämmergeier. Furthermore we had a session for a Golden Eagle pair on the third day. Haven’t worked out all my pictures I took, […]

Tuscany 2018
I have published my pictures from recent Tuscany tour over to SmugMug. Here are my favorites out of the 60 pictures. There is also a timelapse video that does show diverse views from the nearly 2 weeks.
Phare du Chenal du Four – Second turn
Heavy winds and west direction with waves up to 8 meters were announced for our last day in Brittany. We skipped the visit to Pointe du Raz and went for another try to Porspoder. Good decision. It was as I wanted it to be. The wind was driving the water against the lighthouse. Phenomenal! […]
Le Conquet
The site change went down into the rain. Originally planned to have some location visits on the way, but because of the rain it was impossible to do some shots. First day in Le Conquet was used to have a nice morning spent at Saint-Mathieu and Petit Minou lighthouses. Later the day we went backwards […]
Phare du Chenal du Four
Monday we went to Porpoder as more Wind was announced. At the site it was bright sunshine and some good wind. However, the wind came in from south and therefore the expected waves at the lighthouse did not show up. Anyway, it was a great day.
Around Pleubian
From Pleubian we wanted to visit some sites at the Côte de Granit Rose. With only 3 days we focussed on the closer Pleubian area, Perros-Guirec and Cap Fréhel. The day planned for Cap Fréhel did not work. We left early for the 130 kilometer drive and it started to get very foggy when we came […]
From Mont-Saint-Michel to Pleubian
One of the main reasons to go to Brittany was seeing and photographing lighthouses. While Le Mont-Saint-Michel was a must on the way to Brittany, the remaining days was focussing on the lighthouses and the areas around them. In the preparation I planned to have stops on the way from Mont-Saint-Michel to Pleubian for some lighthouses. […]
Le Mont-Saint-Michel
Day one of the Brittany trip. First stop was at famous Le Mont-Saint-Michel. We only planned for a single full day and weren’t lucky in regards of the weather there. However, the evening showed some sun rays for about 30 minutes before it started raining. Worth to visit? Hmh, not really. Very touristic, lots of people, […]
Tuscany 2017 – Day 10
Last day in Tuscany. I did an early morning trip around the valley and shot at some spots we haven’t been in the early hours. During the day we went to San Galgano, an old monastery ruin. It was closed bacause of a marriage in the building. In the evening we went for a […]
Tuscany 2017 – Day 9
This day we did just some stuff in Bagno Vignoni and Pienza and had a look at some of the places we have visited the days before. So, not a lot to show here… Daytrip
