I have been visiting zoos and animals parks in my own country and surrounding countries since the year 1997, and the number of zoos I have visited as well has grown over the years. The frequency of the visits increased over the year, only to decrease again somewhat the last two-three years. I started taking pictures during these zoo visits in the early 2000's. At first I did this with a pocket-sized camera that really wasn't very good. At the end of the year 2005 I got the much better, very nice digital single-lens reflex camera that I still use today, originally with two nice lenses, to which I have since added a third. Although I still love taking pictures and going to the zoo - and I haven't been to the zoo without taking pictures for a long time - I don't know for sure whether and to what extent this will continue in the future. This and the normal reflection and looking-back one, especially a reflexive person like myself, might perform at the end of a year, has brought me to make of a selection of my "best" and favorite shots from the thousands I have taken over the years. The full selections consists of 200 pictures. I cannot and will not post all 200 pictures her, and have therefore decided to make a subselection of 25 pictures that will be posted here. Before and after these "top shots", I will put up a link to the full selection of 200 pictures.

I am amazed you managed to get this close to a pose of a animal without any interaction, you have some cool camera, I love these photos. |

I really like these pictures! My favorite is the Eurasian lynx, it has face expression I've never seen on a lynx before! |
