Through my photography I want to show our nature has an exceptional beauty and diversity. The thought that only exotic destinations have a magnificant nature and that it needs far journeys to see or experience beauty is totally wrong. If you look hard enough you'll find a lot of interesting things very close to you own house.

Being up and about at first light and staying outside untill the sun has set is part of it all. And you shouldn't be afraid of so called "bad weather" like rainy or snowy conditions. Those are the moments which can give unexpected beautiful situations. The play of light, colour and shapes can really make the pieces of the puzzle fit. Whenever you look at an image like that later, you'll feel the sun, rain or cold again.
