SHARING NATURES BEAUTY ONE IMAGE AT A TIME

A perfect representation of how chaos can be beautiful.
These magnificent Albatrosses were seen on a pelagic trip near Stewart Island, New Zealand. They were tossed a piece of fish which immediately caused an explosion of water droplets.
Wild birds are truly amazing! I love spending time with them and nature always find a way to teach us that not everything is black and white. Sometimes we need to change our views to see a situation in color.

One of the best things you can do for your soul is watching a sunset or sunrise.

This image shows my father in deep thought while staring at a gorgeous Fiji sunset. There is just something special about sitting under palm trees in the Pacific Islands and staring into the distance.

Sometimes nature likes to show off its true skills in the most unexpected places.

This image was taken in Kruger National Park, South Africa and was taken on top of a mountain during a drought. The landscape was dry and not really much to look at. However, nature decided to use this in its favor and make one of my favorite and most memorable scenes so far!

Nature can be so healing, if we allow it into our life.

During a trip to Fiji I witnessed one of the most amazing sunsets. I was photographing the jetty and building when a local walked under the roof and stared into the distance. This reminded me of how our minds tend to relax and go deep into thought while we look at incredible scenes.

Some scenes are difficult to describe in words. Luckily, nature always finds the perfect way to explain the message it tries to give accross.

This image was taken in Fiji and it is one of my favorite sunsets in the Pacific Islands. Little beats a gorgeous red/orange sunset.

The journey wildlife goes through in water and on land is truly special.

After a long day at sea, New Zealand Fur Seal mums can make long journeys on land to get to their pups. This mum was on her way to a creek about 150 meters inland. There she swam to get to her pups.

An absolutely prehistoric beauty!

The Takahe was decleared extinct and then found to still be alive in Fiordland, New Zealand. They are still endangered, but how lucky are we that this beautiful creature is still alive and well.

It's easy to forget that we are all born to trust. It is only through certain experiences that we sometimes loose the ability to trust.

New Zealand Weka are extremely curious and in most areas they are unafraid of humans. This one in particular liked invading my personal space. I was an intruder to its natural space and it was intruding in my personal space. Truly one of my favorite moments on Ulva Island. If you are at all keen on bird watching, then this is a must visit destination.

Posing for photos can sometimes help boost our self confidence. Something this beauty does not need more of.

It might seem like this beautiful North Island Saddleback likes to pose for photos, but they are actually very secretive and move around a lot. They are fast and constantly foraging, jumping, running, flying or bouncing around. That makes this one of the best images of this species I have gotten. They have an amazing song and always reminds me of The Joker's laugh.

With so much going on around us all the time, it is important to sometimes take the time to focus on what we love doing. Blur out everything else in that moment and just enjoy what you do.

My favorite Albatross in the whole world is this gorgeous Buller's Albatross. It is one of the smaller Albatrosses, but I absolutely love how majestic and colorful it is. They always look like they are super focused and blur out everything other than what they want to focus on.

With out a doubt one of my favorite images!

This beautiful Salvin's Mollymawk was seen on a pelagic trip near Stewart Island. I love its death stare, focus and beautiful wet feathers. The bright yellow beak works well to brake the black and white of the head. I was meant to take a different lens with me on this trip, but accidentally took my long lens instead. This image was unexpected and I am so happy that I made this mistake.

I'm always amazed with how many people see these massive birds fly over the ocean and think they are gulls. I guess like a lot of things in life, it pays to take a closer look before making a judgement call.

One of the purest looking birds I have come across so far. I love how smooth and clean an albatross's feathers look and this Royal Albatross is no exception. From far away they look like a large gull to the untrained eye, but as it gets closer the shear size of it makes it very clear that this is no gull. Once you get a close up, you will be blessed with an amazingly beautiful bird that keeps its feathers looking good at all times.

My absolute favorite Albatross species!

I love the beautiful colours of the Buller's Mollymawk. This image was taken near Stewart Island, New Zealand, and when I look at this image I see parts of myself in it. Each of us have colourful (exciting, good hearted and beautiful) sides. We also have dark (negative, bad hearted and difficult) sides. However, put them all together and add some unique sides and all of a sudden you are a masterpiece! I always feel a wide range of emotions looking at this bird and it always gives me hope for the future.

One of the cutest birds in New Zealand.

The Tomtit is not always this curious, but sometimes you can be blessed with an amazing view of this extremely cute animal. They have a beautiful call and can be seen in New Zealand's forests where they love to hunt insects, spiders and anything else that is small and moving. They always remind me of a snowball.

Currently the most sold landscape image we have.

I love all the subtle different colours in this image. The blue water, green from the trees that also shows in part of the water, the dramatic black and white sky, the white and grey mountains and the light brown bottom of the mountains. Lake Benmore is a truly incredible place and I would highly recommend you visit here if you're looking for a life long memory.

Sometimes even the simplest of things can look incredible with a little bit of a touch from nature.

The town Mt Cook is surrounded by breathtaking mountains. In winter it is completely covered with snow, but in summer it is only partly covered in snow. This image shows one of the mountains in summer time with a gorgeous sunset in the background. The quality is very high, which allows you to see the mountain in all of its glory being lit up by a gorgeous vanilla sky.

Breathtaking sunrise on New Zealand cost.

This is one of the best fishing scenes I have seen. The image is intentionally blurry, as it was taken in a slight fog. This makes the colours pop and allows the viewer to focus less on details and more on what matters.

Sometimes it is difficult to know which path to take in life. But other times it couldn't be clearer.

This beautiful sunset shows the way home for me and my brother in law after a long walk on the beach. The clouds show how windy it is and yet, the water is calm with barely a wave in sight. This image did very well in photo competitions and it was definitely a very memorable afternoon for me and my brother in law.

One of my most memorable moments whilst visiting Fiji.

This image was taken late at night with a full moon present. I blocked out the moon with a palm tree, but as I was lining it up, I heard a loud rustling in the palm tree. I thought it was an owl, but I quickly realised that is was a massive bat! I spent the rest of the night admiring the Samoan Flying Fox. I love how the moonlight lit up the ocean and island. It clearly shows the crystal clear water, the gorgeous beach and the iconic island life scene.

The Kakapo is one of the most incredible birds I have ever come across.

This magnificent animal is flightless and nocturnal. It is the largest parrot I have ever seen and its gorgeous emerald green feathers help it camouflage perfectly in the New Zealand forests. They are very curious animals and every individual has its own personality. When working with these animals, you can actually identify which individual you see because of how it behaves. They are critically endangered and no members of the public can see them in the wild without volunteering for the DOC. If you want to have a most memorable two weeks of your life though, I would highly recommend you volunteer to work on Whenua Hou.

At the time of this image there were less than 100 individuals of this species left on earth. The Black Stilt is one of New Zealand's most endangered birds and even though the numbers are increasing, they still need to be bred in captivity before being released into the wild. Because they were bred in captivity, these birds are very use to people. So, if you manage to find one, they will get really close to you. This was one of 5 individuals that came to greet me during my morning excursion. Truly magnificent birds in a breathtaking environment.

Mallards are super common in New Zealand. However, I absolutely love spending time looking at them. Both males and females interest me, but the wide range of colours that males can have on their head is truly impressive. Depending on how the sunlight hits their feathers, they can have either a bright green, dark green, rustic brown, light brown, black, light blue, dark blue or purple head. If you've never taken the time to, I would highly recommend you spend some time looking at these magnificent animals.

Truly magnificent evening in Fiji. This image shows a typical island scene with palm trees, a small island, beautiful beach and a small lodge. The image was taken during a full moon, so everything is well lit up and the moon is hidden behind the palm tree. It was a very memorable evening, as large Samoan Flying Foxes roamed the sky just as it started getting dark. Once fully dark they can be heart rustling in the branches of all kind of large trees. The Pacific Islands is truly a magnificent place.

Breathtaking scene in Fiji. This image was taken at one of the lodges we spent the night in during our Pacific Island trip. Sunsets in this area was spectacular every single night. However, this was my favorite sunset of the whole trip. I love the beams of light over the ocean and island. If you ever want to see sunsets and sunrises that will make you cry, this is the place to go.

I can't imagine a better place to find a Leopard. Old trees with rough bark peeling off is the perfect location for a spotted animal to camouflage in. Leopards use these large trees as a vantage point to look out for both danger and prey. With the sun rising, this Leopard had the best seat in the house.
