Fox puppies

Last week in the nearby forest: some curious fox puppies were playing just a few meters away from the path. At this age they seem too curious to just run away if someone aims a camera at them.

Alder Fly on Reed with Eggs

An alder fly lives for 1 to 2 years – but only 2 to 3 weeks outside as a fly outside the water. Once the larva hatches from the egg, it drops in the water and stays there for the majority of its life.

Too nice for an abandoned building: In the Château Banana half of the rooms are staged for photographers – and the others are full of trash!

Lonely Desk

Only the lonely desk remained in the green room, lit by the sunlight through the big window. It must have been nice to sit here in a chair on a sunny afternoon.
