On the fourth day good weather was once again predicted, so two flights with the drone were scheduled. First a second time in Karwie at the cemetery, this time with the planned dronelink flight (video will follow). Momento 360° VR Version At the cemetery we had more luck this time as well. We found […]

A few selected travel experiences where photography was also involved
Masuria – Third Day
On the third day we made a round trip to the north and the western part. Here it was not about the family tree but more about seeing other areas. Unfortunately the weather didn’t play along at all, many pictures didn’t remain of it. Pałac Sztynort I had imagined a little bit better. In the […]
Masuria – Second Day
In the early morning I had a short opportunity to fly with the drone at the hotel, but the wind was a bit strong. Momento 360° VR Version Afterwards we spent the first part of the day walking from the hotel to Sensburg and looking around the city. A nice walk along the promenade, […]
Masuria – First Day
Unfortunately we had to cancel the originally planned Canada trip because of Covid-19. As an alternative we went on a search for clues in Masuria. Since some of our ancestors came from the area around Mrągowo and the surrounding area of nearby Mikołajki, we stayed in Mrągowo to explore the area. A large part of […]
Extremadura – Bonelli’s eagle
The day in the hide for the Bonelli’s Eagle was by far the best day of the trip. Just for that it was worth it to go to Extremadura. Here I also managed a panorama picture from three portrait shots. The two never sat together, always at a certain distance. It was often too close […]
Extremadura – Kingfisher
A morning in the Kingfisher hide. In the beginning the birds stayed far away in the back (and dark) part of the area. Later, actually shortly before the time was up, also closer to the hide. At the end the female organized a real show as well… I also managed to catch the fast bird […]
Extremadura – Among vultures
Among vultures… At least that was the plan for one day. Unfortunately no one had told the vultures. The weather was however also very bad and so they let themselves be seen after over seven hours waiting time for approx. 2 minutes. In the meantime a robin and a small group of Egyptian mongoose passed […]
Extremadura – Day 1
From 7th to 13th November we did a trip to Spain’s Extremadura. Mainly it was about bird photography. Partly from hides, but also on excursions. In retrospect one can say that the season is not suitable for it. Rather the spring or the early autumn should be considered here. Nevertheless, some species were to be […]
Madeira – Fanal (3)
In the second post about Fanal I had shown a sequence of pictures showing how the clouds come over the cloud forest and disappear again. Here is a suitable video.
Madeira – Locations
In this article I give some hints about the visited places and how the pictures were taken. Parque Infantil “Pico dos Barcelos” The Parque Infantil Pico dos Barcelos is a children’s playground with a small park and a restaurant. There is a parking lot directly in front of the entrance (but only about 20 parking spaces). […]
