"Up and down and all around."

Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier

Galveston, Texas

A beach in Galveston, Texas. Its a sunny day and the sky is blue. In the foreground a flock of seagulls is standing on the sand, waves softly roll onto the beach. In the background the Pleasure Pier towers over the water with a ferris wheel and a roller coaster on top of it.

The quiet worker of summer — Bombus pascuorum, the common carder bee.
Her soft, rust-colored coat catches the light as she moves from bloom to bloom, gathering what’s left of the season’s sweetness.
A humble heart among the fading flowers.

A close-up of a common carder bee (Bombus pascuorum) resting on a pale dandelion flower. The bee’s fuzzy orange-brown body contrasts with the soft cream petals beneath it. Its wings shimmer faintly in the light, and the blurred green background gives the scene a calm, late-summer feeling.

Architect of air and fiber — the European paper wasp (Polistes dominula).
She gathers weathered wood, chews it to pulp, and builds a nest that will last only the season.
When autumn comes, it fades — but each spring, new queens begin again.

Close-up of a European paper wasp (Polistes dominula) scraping fibers from weathered wood. Its yellow and black body gleams in soft light, and its jaws press against the grain as it collects material for its nest. The background is a blur of warm brown and grey tones, giving the scene a quiet, focused atmosphere. Close-up of a European paper wasp (Polistes dominula) scraping fibers from weathered wood.

Un aratro rosso e in parte arrugginito e una catasta di tronchi ammassati alla rinfusa si trovano l'uno opposto all'altra ai margini di una radura. Sullo sfondo, il bosco sulla collina è sovrastato da una nuvola che per effetto del tramonto è di colore rosa.

Autumn winds do their work —
spreading seeds, bending stems,
making room for what comes next.

A red-and-white windsock leans in a soft breeze above a field bordered by trees. The sky is overcast with pale blue and grey clouds, giving the landscape a calm, moody light. The scene feels quiet after recent storms, the air cool and heavy with the scent of autumn.

After rain, the world exhales.
Birch bark shines, moss glows,
and the silence feels like company.

#photographersofbluesky #photography #fotografie #naturfotografie #gooutside #takeawalk #bobergerniederung
A few small orange mushrooms grow from moss at the base of a birch tree in a damp autumn meadow. The bark is pale and textured, the air seems cool and wet, and the muted colours create a calm, northern mood.

Amber light in miniature — Succinea putris, the amber snail.
Its shell gleams like liquid sunlight, fragile yet enduring, a quiet voyager through the wet meadows of the world.

A tiny traveller with a mighty shell

This is Hygromia cinctella, the girdled snail.
Barely bigger than a fingernail, yet it wanders fearlessly through a vast world.

#photography #fotografie #macro #naturfotografie #gooutside #takeawalk
Close-up photo of a very small snail, Hygromia cinctella (girdled snail). The snail has a patterned brownish shell with a pale rim and is moving across a green leaf. Its body glistens with moisture, and fine leaf hairs are visible in the foreground. The background is dark and softly blurred, emphasizing the delicate details of the snail.

Upon her back, a pale cross of guanine crystals — Araneus diadematus, the European garden spider. Feared in legend, patient in truth, she spins not miracles but geometry.

#photography #fotografie #macro #naturfotografie #gooutside #takeawalk
Close-up photo of a European garden spider (Araneus diadematus), showing the distinctive pale cross-shaped markings on its brown abdomen. The spider’s hairy legs are partly visible around the edges, blurred, while the pattern on the back is sharp and detailed. The dark background emphasizes the bright cross, giving the spider an almost mythical presence.

Architect of the night: the European garden spider (Araneus diadematus), patient weaver of silk geometries, keeping the summer air in balance.

Close-up of a European garden spider (Araneus diadematus) in its web. The spider’s patterned brown body with pale cross-markings is visible in partial light, legs stretched against fine strands of silk. The background is dark, making the spider and its glistening web stand out with striking clarity. Close-up of a European garden spider (Araneus diadematus) in its web.

Threads of life and death: a garden spider (Araneus diadematus) holds a ladybird in its orb web. Warning colors and bitter chemistry fail; the silk decides.

A meadow’s fragment of sky — the male Common Blue butterfly, shimmering where grasses bend and wildflowers sway. Ordinary in name, extraordinary in presence.

#photography #fotografie #macro #naturfotografie #pollinators #gooutside #takeawalk
A close-up of a male Common Blue butterfly (Polyommatus icarus) resting with wings open on a thistle bud. The wings are a vivid, iridescent blue with narrow dark borders, catching the light like a scrap of sky. Around it, the background is blurred shades of soft green, giving the butterfly a luminous, floating quality.

Guardian of the forest shadows.
The European hornet, fierce in appearance yet calm in nature. Indifferent to humans unless disturbed, it moves with quiet purpose — a hunter that asks only to be left in peace.

Close-up of a European hornet (Vespa crabro) perched on the edge of a dark green leaf. The hornet’s large head fills the frame: reddish-brown with a vivid yellow face and dark, shining eyes. Its antennae extend forward, and the details of its strong legs and striped abdomen are partly visible. The background is dark and blurred, highlighting the insect’s striking colors. The photo captures both its power and its calm stillness. Close-up of a European hornet (Vespa crabro) perched on the edge of a dark green leaf.

Spots on a leaf, stories in miniature.
An Asian lady beetle glows orange against pale leaf and golden galls, while a tiny fly on an acorn reminds us how grand even the small can seem.
A close-up of an Asian lady beetle (Harmonia axyridis) on a pale, gray-green leaf marked with small round golden-brown galls. The beetle is bright orange with black spots and a bold black-and-white pronotum near its head. To the left, partly blurred, a green acorn sits with a very small fly perched upon it, smaller even than the ladybird itself. The background is dark and soft, which makes the beetle and the leaf stand out clearly.

Curiosity on four legs.
This viviparous lizard looks almost as if it’s smiling at the camera — a tiny reptile with the rare gift of giving birth to live young, thriving even in the chill of northern moors and forests.
A close-up photograph of a small viviparous lizard resting on a piece of weathered wood. The lizard’s body is slim, with a pattern of light and dark stripes running along its back. Its head is in sharp focus, showing round, dark eyes, textured scales, and a slightly raised mouth that gives the impression of a faint smile. The background is softly blurred in muted tones, which makes the lizard stand out clearly in the image.

Warum brachte die AfD am 11. und 12. Mai 2022 insgesamt 107 Kilogramm Gold in ein Depot im Fürstentum Liechtenstein? Wollte es die Partei verstecken? Oder fürchtete sie, ihren Schatz im Zuge eines möglichen Parteiverbotsverfahrens zu verlieren?

Where the harbor becomes the city.
HafenCity, Europe’s largest inner-city development, rises from 157 hectares of former docks — where red-brick warehouses meet bold glass facades, and ships still rest in the water that shaped it all.

Brick, glass, ship, and song — Hamburg’s harbor in dialogue.
The Seute Deern recalls seafaring days, while behind her rises the newly opened Elbphilharmonie — a former warehouse crowned with a wave-shaped glass façade, now one of Europe’s most iconic concert halls.
