Hello all who like animals. On this page I'll show you some of my best selfmade animal photos. I hope you will like them.

If you want to see a picture in better quality (larger) then you just have to click on the pic.

A lot of cats...

This is Nelli in the year 1991. We also called her Nelli-Pirelli or even "Kriminelli" (Criminal Nelli). And this shows how her character was - especially when she was younger. Unfortunately she died in September 1997. She was old and very ill. Nelli was my favorite cat.

The photo on the right shows Jumbo in the year 1994. How can you make his brain as big as a pea? Pump it up! He really is a miracle of creation – how only one brain cell can manage so many different body functions simultaneously: digestion, at the same time looking for new food, and looking intelligent. Really astonishing, this tom cat. By the way: His right eye is naturally blue, his left is yellow (no contact lenses). The colors in the inner of the eyes (red and green) are caused by the flash, but it makes him even more beautiful.

These pictures show Bonnie. She was the cat of my youngest sister.

This is David. These pictures are from 1995, when he was really small. But he was never as fragile as it's written on the box. In fact, he loves to thrash other cats, and also the human inhabitants have to feel his claws and teeth from time to time.

These are some half-brothers and -sisters of David. We hope that their temperament is calmer than Davids...

But I did not only take pictures of house cats. For example, I also made this excellent picture of a very hungry tiger that hides in the green of the jungle - looking how to catch some food. A picture from my photo safari in summer 2001.

And two dogs

And lots of poultry...

4 times poultry: Pic 1 was taken at the river "Rhein" here in Cologne, pictures 2 and 3 are from Cologne Zoo and I took photo number 4 at a beautiful lake not far from here.

These swans live in Friedrichshafen at the "Bodensee". Maybe it's called in english "lake of Constanz".

Swan in the waves. That they like swimming in the waves is not the only thing that makes them similar to humans. As among men and women they also have some who are too meagre, others who have the right weight and others who are too weighty and have very fat necks. ;-)
