I took this picture with my old camera on January 1st, 2008 near Mummelsee in the Black Forest where I lived before I moved to the Caribbean. The quality is not the best because I had no professional camera at this time but I am sure some people here will love that shot anyways and I wanted to share it before it get lost. If anybody want the original, please let me know.

I took this picture of the beautiful Victoria Falls on my recent visit in November 2009. The photo is taken from the Devil's cataract in direction of the Main Falls. The water at that time of the year is at it's lowest compared to the rest of the year. However the green vegetation around, the many thousands of litres of water storming down into the valley and the sound of twittering birds around you makes this a location worth visiting any time of the year.

This photo tells the story behind my shot of the sunrise on top of Dune45 in the Namib, the world's oldest desert. The wind constantly blows the sand over the edge of the dune, giving it its unique shape and keeping it in place. The wind blows equally often and strong from West and East, making the dune itself immovable. I was thrilled by the thought of how many millions of grains of sand are blown over the edge of this and all the other dunes in the desert every second. This photo captures a few of them in flight.

I took this picture on my recent trip through Southern Africa. We went to climb up the famous Dune 45 close to Sossusvlei in the Namib Desert at about half past five to see the sunrise from the dune. This picture is taken just before the Sun appeared over the horizon. The colours were amazing and the untouched dune before me was truly magical.

Fairly simple but makes for a really nice wallpaper. Created in Vue 8 Infinite, thanks...

Palm Springs, California isn't only for golfers and rich people! There is a lot to see around it, like Joshua Tree National Park. But be careful, it can be extremely hot down there! This was taken in the park along the scenic route. They are very unique trees indeed!
