As many of you know, I’m no expert when it comes to birds. My standard joke is always that I can tell you they have wings and can fly – except for penguins! But the challenge of photographing them gets me every time. This was also the case during my stay on Robinson Crusoe Island. Together with two excellent photographers, Conrad and Kevin, we set off in search of a very special target: the Juan Fernandez Firecrown Hummingbird. This little […]

Unfortunately, there was a setback in May when heavy rainfall washed out the new wall and caused part of it to collapse. But the villagers were not discouraged and used lattice boxes to strengthen the foundations and rebuild the wall. The project around the children’s […]

That was the starting signal for a great friendship with the sailing school team and many unforgettable moments. The summer in Hemmenhofen was simply fantastic. I learned a lot and laughed even more. The sailing school is not only a great place to learn, but also a great community. It didn’t take […]
