Shy Albatrosses

starting at €90.00

Water splashes as their wings, measuring over a meter in length, engage in fierce dispute in the fiord. The stern-looking shy albatrosses disagree on who owns the fish catch. These rascals, nesting on three islands off the coast of Tasmania, stop to feed in the foothills of New Zealand's steep mountains on their long journey across the southern oceans. The population of the shy albatross, which was once considered endangered, has grown from about 300 individuals to over 10,000 in just over a hundred years. This is quite an achievement, considering that each pair lays only one egg per year and that adults are killed due to industrial fishing and disease, while chicks fall prey to boobies.

THEIR LAND – A series of organisms in their habitats

A series of photographs depicting various organisms living alone or in communities within their territories. Their own territory is a crucial habitat that knows no man-made boundaries—whether national, property lines, or otherwise. In its own territory, an animal experiences not only peaceful coexistence with its own and other species, but also mutual skirmishes and even fierce competition based on natural selection and balance—a struggle for existence.

The images in this series can be ordered with or without a white border and stylish info text.
