Stand to attention! by Oliver Geiseler
The Icelandic summer nights can be so beautiful. The sun lust dips under the horizon for a short time before rising again and it never gets dark
This photo was taken around 2 am only a short walk from the Reykjavik city center. When visiting Iceland during the summer months don´t go to sleep too early or you will miss the most beautiful bart of the day
THREE critically endangered Onager foals were born at Chester Zoo within the space of a few days – great news!
Here are a few photos – they are very cute! 🙂
Breaking the rules with boulders from another world
The Moeraki Boulders lay along a stretch of Koekohe Beach on the wave cut Otago coast of New Zealand between Moeraki and Hampden, a short drive south from Christchurch. Fresh off the plane and mad as spaniel’s to see New Zealand, we forget to grab the little things that help out, for instance wellies and made our way down to Moeraki. This particular photograph was my first dawn patrol in New Zealand. I witnessed the most intense pre dawn glow ever before this photograph, the camper van rental man wasn’t joking when he said how vivid the light is here.
After a successful twenty minutes I stumbled across these two boulders in the fading glow and set about breaking the rules, three’s better than two they say. I got so absorbed in my work I waded out into the sea as per normal but quickly realized I wasn’t in my usual gear. The water temperature was a far cry from Indonesia and to say I had cold feet/legs for the rest of the morning would be an understatement. A trip to warehouse for the coastline essentials soon followed.
