Chem-trails (Landscapes) 2024-09-21 Kalvebod Fælled, Denmark Granatvej view toward Avedøre-værket. Prince was convinced, and he was from Minneapolis, why I rest my case, and look forward to Purple Rain falling from the sky! |

Den sydlige strandeng (Landscapes) 2024-06-29 Amager Fælled, Denmark One of the good spots for dragonflies in the southern part of the area. This is part of the original old coastal meadows that existed here before the area was used for land fill and garbage dumping. |

Børstingerød Mose (Landscapes) 2024-06-14 Børstingerød Mose (sjælland), Denmark A preserved or recreated bog surrounded by a mixed urban and agricultural environment. The False Heath Fritillary (Melitaea diamina) [Mørk Pletvinge] has been introduced here and flies strictly in the clearing seen in photos 4 and 5. And only here in all of Denmark. Lesser Marbled Fritillary (Brenthis ino) [Engperlemorssommerfugl] is also introduced here, having an otherwise very restricted distribution in Denmark - only in C Sjælland and on Fyn. Access is from Kollerød east of highway 16, following dirt road Vejs Ende...to the end. |

Fandens Hul (Landscapes) 2024-05-10 Teglstrup Hegn (nordsjælland), Denmark Still open space, with only few of the first dragonflies of the year. But it looks fine for another year for the Sedgling [Dværgvandnymfe], though it might be a good idea to cut down the young birches near the water. |

Claudia (People) 2012-10-26 Ejido El Ocote (agu), Denmark The lovely Claudia, whom I probably had most in common with of all the Mexicans I met during my time there. Here we were visiting an ejido southwest of Aguascalientes City, a place with interesting wall paintings and Claudia being there working on a project to give the area some protection in relation to nature. I don't think we saw much. But just being able to join her in the field was a gift to me and much worth it. |

Käthe Wessels (Landscapes) 2023-11-06 Amager Strandpark, Denmark An October 20th eastern storm that raised the Baltic waters to such levels that her anker couldn't hold her, and she moved east only to be stranded near the beach. The cormorants indifferent of course, but the photographer content with a nicer perspective. It's still there a month later, the owner waiting for the right conditions to be able to pull her loose and out to her former position 400 meters off shore. Apparently it is difficult to find a permanent berth for her, why she is stuck in international waters. Because of the narrow strait between Denmark and Sweden the usual territorial ocean border of the two countries have been minimized dramatically allowing the heavy traffic commuting to and from the Baltic region without having to pass through eventually hostile waters...good for you Russia - today. |

Ny Sebberup Skov (Landscapes) 2023-07-27 Ny Sebberup Skov (Hedensted), Denmark 'Newly' established forest along the highway between Hedensted and Horsens.

JES, LAK og FAB i Rold Skov (People) 2023-07-08 Rold Skov (midtjylland), Denmark Jan Eske Smidt, Frank Abrahamsen, Lars Adler Krogh og mig selv tog til Rold Skov og fik den dejlige Arktiske Smaragdlibel. Selv om de ikke gjorde så meget væsen af sig, som de burde have gjort. Drengene altså. Dyret var fint, og gjorde næsten hvad det skulle. |

The drier area consists of floating plant material, peat, at least closer to the open water. One of the few reliable places in Denmark to find Arctic Emerald [Arktisk Smaragdlibel] |

Laguna Zapotlán (Landscapes) 2020-02-12 Laguna Zapotlán (jal), Mexico One of my favorite places to go birding in MY Mexico. And this afternoon it suddenly exploded with the sky opening up to worlds that lie way beyond what we humans can ever aspire to. Only dreaming... |

Fandens Hul (Landscapes) 2022-06-18 Teglstrup Hegn (nordsjælland), Denmark An extraordinary place. An overgrown forest lake or bog with floating vegetation around the water opening. Acid water makes it an interesting habitat for several plants and especially dragonflies. This is the only place in Denmark to find the declining Sedgling [Dværgvandnymfe], a small damselfly.

Det Kongelige Teater (Landscapes) 2021-11-19 København, Denmark Det Kgl Teater på Kgs. Nytorv, København, som det kom til at se ud i sin ombyggede form i 1872-74. Fra 1748 (N. Eigtved) lå her dog det første kongelige teater, som i flere omgange og af forskellige årsager senere blev bygget om. Den nuværende bygning blev til efter en konkurrence som Dahlerup & Petersen vandt. H.C. Andersen har således lige nået at få de sidste teatralske fornøjelser med fra denne nyskabning. Han døde i 1875. |

Raptor Rehab station (Landscapes) 2019-11-28 Parque Ecológico Macuiltépetl (Xalapa), Mexico Always depressing to see proud animals tied up like this, even though they are supposed to be helped here. But sadly some of them, there were about 10-15 raptors, had lost the ability to survive on their own. White Hawk on the left and Laughing Falcon on the right. |

Nils Bouillard on a Big Bat Year (Landscapes) 2019-06-27 Cueva Tampumacchay (Los Ortices - col), Mexico Nils Bouillard and local guy from Los Ortices. A difficult cave to find, 10 km south of Colima City, why we asked for help to get there. The caves, because there were two different entrances, apparently connected underground but we didn't go deep enough to explore this. |

Cave entrance, Altitle (Landscapes) 2019-06-28 Área Cueva Altitle (jal), Mexico Another modest-looking cave entrance, but inside the system continued for a length of 3 kilometers, and perhaps for the same reason this is one of the richest caves in Jalisco in terms of bat numbers. A study in 2017 estimated that some 80000 animals, of 8 different species, were using the cave. |

The volcano on fire. (Landscapes) 2019-02-22 Volcán Nevado de Colima, Mexico Heart-breaking to experience when vast areas of pristine nature goes up in smoke. And even more so, when you know that if often, as in this case, should never have happened. Read more here. |

Preparing for more avocados (Landscapes) 2019-05-22 Volcán Nevado de Colima, Mexico Land that has earlier been brutally cleared from all natural vegetation and now awaiting to be used for more avocado production. And when it gets that far, be sure to know that your fruit has not been treated organically at all. Some 6-7 times of spraying before the fruit is ripe. |

Forest fires in Jalisco (Landscapes) 2019-05-10 Ciudad Guzmán (jal), Mexico The landscape is very dry now, and spontaneous or intended fires are emerging in many places, as here on the volcano Nevado de Colima and adjacent hills. Most are away from human activities, and are probably left to die out by natural causes. The smoke effect, however, is substantial and schools and the university in Cd. Guzm |

The Moon (Landscapes) 2019-03-20 Ciudad Guzmán (jal), Mexico The Super Worm Moon. Equinox and perigee at the same time. Equinox means that day and night are the same length. Spring has arrived! Perigee means the shortest distance between the earth and the moon in the year cycle. Worm refers to the soil activity of these creatures as the thaw sets in. |

Cabo Corrientes Lighthouse (Landscapes) 2017-09-12 Faro de Cabo Corrientes (jal), Mexico A visit, or a small expedition, to the lighthouse at the corner between the ocean and the bay. It has been out of service for several years, and there is nothing left of value. A local fisherman, Corrales, told me that THEY had been here long ago stealing what was worth stealing. Apparently also the camera because I didn't see any..! But it's a fascinating place, and you can read more about the visit under my 5 Chickens from 2017-09-13. From the last photos I hope it is perceivable that it was very HOT. |
