A little gap in the Storm clouds
about me
Have you ever heard the awesome sound of a roaring waterfall ... or have you enjoyed the relaxing silence up on a mountain peak in the early morning while you were watching the little world below you?
I was born and raised in Carinthia, Austria, and I love to take photos of the beautiful Nature that's all around us.

I'm a passionate nature photographer based in the heart of Europe, photographing in the stunning landscapes of Austria and the surrounding countries like Slovenia and Italy. Although working full-time in an office, I take every chance to escape into nature, particularly drawn to photographing waterfalls and capturing the serene beauty of mountain peaks at sunrise. |

When not behind the camera or at the office, I enjoy hiking ... the camera is most times with me though ;) Through my photography, I try to inspire others to appreciate and protect the breathtaking beauty of Mother Nature.
I wished I could write here that I am a professional Nature Photographer, who is every day able to experience the beauty that Mother Nature offers us, but unfortunately I am not.
So, I am only a happy hobby photographer with a full time job, who tries to get out and enjoy nature whenever possible, and of course, my camera is always with me.
Nature ... waterfalls and mountains, the silence in a forest or sunrises at a lake ... I love it and sometimes I can take a photo that is able to show the awesome and peaceful time I have out there, no matter the weather.
I think I don't have a preferred kind of photo motif ... maybe waterfalls would be on top of the list, if I had a list.
