Northern Gannets Fencing

I had an amazing opportunity to spend some time on a small German island, Helgoland with with some extraordinary birds. Steep cliffs and tightly packed nesting ground..awkward landings and take-offs..harsh wind condition and romantic displays between pairs..truly unforgettable experience!

Ljubljana Triple bridge

The central of the three bridges forming the Triple Bridge has stood in its place since 1842, when it replaced an old, strategically important medieval wooden bridge connecting the north-western European lands with south-eastern Europe and the Balkans. Between 1929 and 1932, the side bridges, intended for pedestrians, were added to the original stone bridge to a design by the architect Jože Plečnik, who thus created a unique architectural gem of Ljubljana. Plečnik removed the metal railings from the old stone bridge and furnished all the three bridges with massive stone balustrades and lamps. From each of the side bridges, two stairways lead to terraces situated just above the river, where poplar trees were planted to contribute to the overall appearance of the Bridge

Levitation No 51

The photo exhibition Levitation, on the other hand, stops time completely, even denies it. The moment is placed into the foreground as the only category worthy of our attention. The artist uses a 14-year-old ballerina who defies gravity and other laws of nature as his model. By doing so, he unintentionally, or perhaps intently, transports us into a different moment in time, around 1880, when Edgar Degas in his atelier sculpted his famous La Petite Danseuse de Quatorze Ans, the Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer. Degas, with his numerous depictions of dancers, focused on what usually stays hidden from the audience (fatigue, distress of dancers). With this awareness, the levitation of today’s fourteen-year-old dancer becomes multi-facetted. Despite the fact that the artist alludes to a light-hearted acceptance of the moment, we cannot ignore the realisation that life is just an interlacement of moments. Landing on the floor is inevitable, however, in the next moment, an event, a positive thought or a friendly smile can lift us up again.
