Welcome to my photography blog and portfolio. My goal is to document the world around me, from the small details of everyday life to the grand landscapes that take our breath away. Whether I'm at home or traveling to new places, I am always on the lookout for new and interesting subjects to photograph. My photographs are a visual diary of my experiences and a way to share the world as I see it with others.

Perito Moreno is a glacier located in the Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina. It is one of the few glaciers in the world that is still growing, and it is a popular tourist destination. The glacier is approximately 30 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide, and it reaches a height of 74 meters above sea level. The glacier is named after Francisco Moreno, an Argentine explorer who studied the region in the 19th century. The Perito Moreno glacier is a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1981. It is also known for its spectacular ice break off, known as "rupturas" happening every 4-5 years. Perito Moreno Glacier - Los Glaciares National Park, Santa Cruz Province, Patagonia, Argentina.

the Perito Moreno Glacier, captured in all its icy glory.

The Perito Moreno Glacier is a natural wonder located in the Los Glaciares National Park in southern Argentina. It is part of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, one of the largest ice fields in the world outside of Antarctica and Greenland. The Perito Moreno is as much an auditory as a visual experience when huge icebergs calve and collapse into the Canal de los Témpanos (Iceberg Channel). The glacier is approximately 30 km long and 5 km wide, with some ice walls rising up to 80 m high and is one of the few glaciers in the world that is still advancing, rather than receding. Due to the world’s recent climate shifts the precipitation in the region has increased. This in combination with the strong and cold Patagonian winds has reinforced the glacier. In a nutshell this natural wonder is a must-see destination for anyone interested in the natural world – Los Glaciares National Park, Santa Cruz Province, Patagonia, Argentina.

Elephant seals

Picture
An elephant seal’s year is divided into four cycles: two on land, and two in the ocean. They haul out on land for the breeding season, which lasts from late August through early November, and for the molting season from mid-December through March. During their terrestrial phase, elephant seals fast and spend most of their time sleeping to conserve vital energy reserves. Motionless giants, they resemble wet oval rocks strewn along the beach and blend perfectly into the landscape. Elephant seals are endowed with a generous coat of greasy blurber. The wrapping of fat insulates them from the cold antartic currents, but is also a larder for lean times and provides vital energy for the long fasts during the molting and breeding seasons - Peninsula Valdes, Argentina

This photo brings back many fond memories from our first trip to Argentina in January 2019. I took this photograph on LH0506 on the long flight from Frankfurt International Apt. to Sao Paulo Guarulhos Int'l Apt. It’s one of my favourite things to do when I fly: watching the views that unfolds outside the plane window.

Picture
The famous Palm Jumeirah is an archipelago of artificial islands on the Persian Gulf in Dubai. What only becomes obvious from a vantage point of an aircraft is that the island is constructed in the shape of a palm tree. An extract of the mega posh palm-shaped retreat can be seen from the 52nd floor of the Palm Tower. Top left on the photograph is the brand-new ultra-luxury hotel Atlantis the Royal – Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, United Emirates.
