Etosha Day 1

So many animal picture to dig through … but here comes a first selection of images from our 4 day visit to the Etosha National Park, Namibia in September 2023. Unbelievable, the sheer number of animals at the waterholes and along the pads during the dry season.

Massen von Tierbildern, die erstmal abgearbeitet werden müssen … aber hier schon mal eine erste Auswahl Bilder von vier Tagen im Etosha Nationalpark, Namibia im September 2023. Unglaublich, welche Mengen von Tieren an den Wasserlöchern und entlang der Schotterpisten während der Trockenzeit zu sehen und zu fotografieren waren.

Interestingly, a lot of the somewhat derelict facades photographed back then, have been refurbished and look way better today or on Google streetview.

Aus den Tiefen des Archivs: 2009 ging es ganz unverhofft mit dem “Geo”-Ballon der Hamburger Ballonwelt über Köln, mit ein paar Bildeindrücken, die man sonst nicht so leicht bekommt.

Shai-Hulud Nebula ;-)

Another CG in Puppis, also called “God’s Hand” trying to snatch PGC21338, but for me it looks more like a sandworm.
