Portugal 09
Updated Tue, 5 May 2009 Added Tue, 5 May 2009
Finally this was my 7th time in Portugal. Since I already opened up a few Portugal City galleries some months ago, I decided only to pick out the best shots in order not to bore you. Since most of them are photos with nature in the foreground, you can find the gallery in this section.

The Pfänder Mountain can be found in the closer vicinity of the city of Bregenz near Lake Constance in Southern Germany. The Mountain itself lies in Austria and offers a great view which can be seen on the photos.

Autumn can be totally grey but also as bright and colorful as you can imagine - a season of contrasts.

Mount Gambier
Updated Tue, 19 Aug 2008 Added Tue, 19 Aug 2008
Mount Gambier is one of Australia's youngest volcanos. It is known for its four lake-filled maars from which Blue Lake is the most popular. The blue colour of this lake is caused by a special chemical composition due to which the light is refracted in such a way that the water gets its deep blue colour.
The Great Ocean Road is a 273 km long road along the South Eastern coast of Australia. The road was built between the cities of Torquay and Warrnambool as a Memorial to those people killed in the First World War. It is one of Australia's most beautiful scenic coastline drives.
Uluru, or Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation in the southern part of Northern Territory, situated 335 km (208 mi) south west of the nearest large town, Alice Springs; 450 km (280 mi) by road. Kata Tjuta, or Mt. Olga, and Uluru are the two major features of the Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park. Uluru is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara, the Aboriginal people of the area. It has many springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings. Uluru is listed as a World Heritage Site.
Everybody knows about the Grand Canyon and if you have been there you know why. The sheer enormity becomes clear when talking about the dimensions: 450 km in length, 6 to 30 km in width and 1800 m deep. Bryce Canyon in the Southwest of Utah is even more amazing. Its unique shape and the special geological structure, the so called Hoodoos, make it so remarkable and distinctive. The elevation is much higher than the one of the Grand Canyon and ranges from 2400 to 2700 meters.

Macromatic
Updated Mon, 18 Feb 2008 Added Mon, 18 Feb 2008
This is kind of a different nature gallery as it shows Macro photography of various objects. However, tot every single picture shows these extremely close views but this is more or less a collection of photos which did not fit anywhere else.
