Eco-friendly?

I had originally planned a different motif for World Photography Day 2026,
but life had other plans.

Just in case, though, I took my camera with me to a last-minute appointment.

On the way back, I saw a heart-shaped aluminum balloon dancing in the wind. Its string was caught on one of the sunflowers in the middle of a flower meadow designed as a pollinator habitat.
The balloon is eye-catching. However, I question its value to nature.



I am grateful for the opportunity to have seen many talented photographers from various genres at work. While I greatly respect and admire their work, I have never attempted to emulate their style, and I do not have a particular favorite.

For this reason, I would like to limit myself here to express my sincere appreciation for the work of all photographers who pursue their profession or hobby with evident and palpable love and passion.

On World Photography Day and beyond, I wish us all much joy in photography

unverhofft kommt oft
gutes Bild
ganz interessante Überlegungen zu Umwelt und zur Fotografie; wenn man das Glück hat talentierten Fotografen bei der Arbeit zuzusehen, gibt das einem ganz sicher einen Motivationsschub . . .
