wonders of the sea






























































Can people say I am addicted to snorkling? I think they are right Why I love it so much, it is not only the fascinating world under water, the corals and fish in all colors and sizes and forms especially in the moring sun. It also is that you feel s...ilence and all slows down like in another world. All hectic and noise is away. You slow donw your moving, to be able to watch, you swim you calm and you hold on to watch details and what is going on down there. Small tiny fish like jewels dancing around the corals. Bigger ones gliding by so calm as if time has no meaning any more. Fish in all size and form and colors, beautful ones but as well ones you can fear. But there is no fear to us, they do nothing when you do not touch. They slide into the coral labyrinth and come out of sight but others come out.
This year I got aqaintance with a baracuda size about one meter. He usually rested under a woodden platform a swarm of markrelas beneath him so his pantry was filled. But one time he crossed my way and he turned towards me and I begged please turn again and ... he did one meter in fornt of me. Not interested in me at all and when he turned I took the pictures. Usually baracudas do nothing they are only very curious like some other fish.
I watched an octopus changing form and color and than leave hiding in the corals arms.
I watched some blue pointed rays, during the day the hide in the sand of the sea but when they decide to come out they move so elegant.
I deteced some seanemones, one was not too deep so I could watch this flowerish animal and the small fish living in symbosis - I am sure all know them since the Disney Movie Nemo and I call them now Nemos.
Calamares meet my way, swam with me as well as the dancing silvery makrelas with the mouth so wide open and the small butterfly fishs and scalars.
The trigger fish are bigger and they protect their teritory a lot but I never got attacted because I respected them they give warnings in turning the belly uwards and showing the teeths.
I decteded some puffyfish, ugly looking and a beautiful lion fish so poisoness as beautiful.
But I missed the dolphins. A swarm of about 30, most small young ones. Some snorklers have been in the middle of them, but I was out of water since one hour and as quickly they appeared as quickly they left again. It must be a wonderful feeling to be with them.
Other time other change.

Plitvice jezzara - Plitvice lakes

Plitvica Jezara

Have you ever been at Plitvice lakes , Croatia?

To see these waterfalls, this amazing artist of nature was a dream of me which come true.

I will not write about the facts, the size and geography you will find details all over in the net.

I will write about my expressions and my feelings there and I choose some pictures I take there to share it with you. It was not easy to choose some out of so many photos I take so maybe I bore you because I add a lot.

I was so impressed when I see the first big waterfalls. The mist in the air, so fresh, so cool, the people they are on the tracks looking like ants in front of these big artist of nature.

The lakes are in an amazing green, like emerald. The water is so clear, you can see till the ground.

All is untouched. The fish in so many sizes and sorts are not afraid, if you would, you could touch them by hands. The water birds also are not shy, built the nests near to the paths. And when you walk through the forests a bit away from the big waterfalls you can listen the birds singing, so many voices and in the background the small sound of the water, bubbling so silent. When you have time to sit down you feel so relaxed.

Next to the big waterfalls you only hear the drumming noise of the falling water, so much power and all around there is a veil of mist, so cool and fresh.

All around there is water, coming out of the rocks, floating down in cascades into the clear lakes.

It is only a dream.

Emerald water invites you to swim, big powerful waterfalls roaring and also small soft waterfalls like showers. Fish you can touch by hands, ducks breeding. And all around so much peace.

Impressions of Trogir - Croatia

Trogir is a world heritage side. It is a small old town placed on a small land tongue connected to the coast by a brigde. The next big city is Split. Enjoy the walk through the old narrow streets of Trogir and some places next to this city and the rocky coastline of the Adriatic Sea. I share some pictures I take during our visit there.

Isle Mainau - Lake Constances flower island

This small island is placed in Lake Constance. The island belong to noble family Bernadotte, which are related to the Swedish royal family. The noble family opend the island for public. So many people can enjoy the different seasons. I will share the rose season with you because I am addicted to royal roses and their scent. But the Isle Mainau is worth a visit to all seasons.
