Tiger Keelback Snake in China

The tiger snake is a very photogenic snake that occurs in China, Korea and Japan and impresses with its intense colors of green and red.

The snake likes to live near lakes and rivers, feed on fish, amphibians and other reptiles that it hunts in or near water. The snake is considered venomous because it processes the poison of its preferred food, the common toad, and can chew this poison into bite wounds. Although it does not have poisonous fangs like a viper, the bite is certainly not to be underestimated.

Furthermore it is poisonous as it also has the peculiarity of bein able to squeeze out the poison from the head via a poison gland, so that predators such as foxes can be repelled. tigernatter tiger keelbackRhabdophis tigrinus

Chess computers are a great opportunity for brain teasers and the training of strategic thinking. Chess computers are particularly fun when they display their moves visually with light games and thus interact visually with the human player.

City of Rats

I photographed this rate in the middle of downtown Berlin. It is said that more rats than people live in Berlin. We rarely see rats in Berlin. Or maybe just because we don’t want to see them.

Berlin Spree Cityscape

I photographed this beautiful transition from the golden to the blue hour in May 2018. I stood on the Elsenbrücke and looked towards the city center to the Oberbaumbrücke.

Mirroring Street

I took this photo on February 2nd, 2020. A date when climate change in Germany seemed even more threatening than the Corona virus, because winter was once again very mild.

As you probably suspected, the main photo above is shown upside down. It rained heavily at the largest intersection of Kurfürstendamm in Berlin Charlottenburg and a large puddle formed for a few minutes. This puddle showed a beautiful and large reflection of what was happening at the crossroad. The yellow color of the bus creates an interesting atmosphere.
