Our planet shows us many faces. Here are some of them, I had the chance to capture.

The sunset is reflecting in the still moist sand at low tide. Napiers, New Zealand |
![Volcanic Beach](thumb/nz2.jpg) |
New Zealand is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, where continental and oceanic plates meet each other. This facilitates volcanic activities. The beach consists of black volcanic glass-sand giving it an unusual color. |

The freezing cold wind has covered this bench with ice. But then the sun came out... Belchen, Black Forest, south-western Germany |

Rain freezing to an apple tree. The flash light used here, lets the raindrops glow. |

A sunlit valley in the Southern Alps on the South Island of New Zealand. |

Rock formation close to Rotorua in New Zealand. Photographed straight upwards. |

A lonely beach at the east coast of Australia. |

An old and rusty bike in the river. Although this is generally speaking not created by nature, it has become a part of it. River Frome close to Bristol, UK. |
