I have shot countless timelapses over the last few years, but this is the first one since early 2013 that I have shot for myself and not for somebody else. Can't wait to get further out into the desert to avoid light pollution and capture more of the milky way! Milky Way season is only now starting, although the temperature will soon be too high, even at night... #timelapse #milkyway #moonstrike #moonrise #desert #edelkrone #moco #dunes #desert #stars (at Al Qudra Desert)

Relaxing and chatting with @senedgomera while we are waiting for my milky way timelapse to finish a few dunes away. The nights are still amazing out in the desert although summer is just around the corner. Have you been out in the desert lately? #dubai #desert #night #stars #moon #milkyway #campfire (at Al Qudra Desert)

"My favourite thing to do on this planet is to scuba dive." - Buzz Aldrin I found this hypnotizing moray during a wreck dive off the coast of Fujairah, UAE. Couldn't take my eyes off for minutes as she just sat there and observed her surroundings. #moray #wreck #underwater #diving #fujairah #naturalwonders #planetearth (at Fujairah Anchorage, UAE)

Thousands of fireflies doing their amazing dance and pulsing their lights in rythmic unison. One of the most mindblowing wildlife experiences I have ever witnessed! Captured in the small village of Poondi high up in the Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu, India. #fireflies #dusk #lighttrails #naturalwonders #india #amazingnature (at Pine Forest Kodaikanal)

I you want to take to the skies you have to meticulously prepare yourself. The @jetman team does an amazing job getting the three Jetmen up and "running" before every flight. Very impressive and a great honor to watch them in action 🚀 #jetman (at Dubai, United Arab Emirates)

I feel most alive when I'm outdoors away from the crowds and have a campfire going. Friends, family, a few beers and a barbequeue and I'm a happy camper! Taken handheld with a Nikon D810 at 24mm f1.4 1/6s ISO3200 🙌🏼 (at Al Qudra Desert)

Me shooting 5h hyperlapses every day be like 🐼⛩

I remember this particular day from almost 5 years ago very well. At first it seemed like nothing much would happen that morning and the fog would not be able to move into the city at all from far away in the desert. But then, all of a sudden, a set of huge tsunami-like waves built up and almost violently crashed into Dubai Marina. Stay tuned for more pics of what happened next! 🌊 (at Dubai Marina)

The boldness of this young man is impressive! He never hesitates to plunge into the steepest slopes and the highest jumps at speeds that would make most of us wet our pants. What did you do at the age of 9? Check out our #Lofoten video with @sildaru ! Link in bio 👉🏼 (at Lofoten, Norway)

Who would have thought that, 16 years later, we would again be sitting on this beach looking at the stars, but this time with our two beautiful kids fast asleep in the bungalow right behind us ❤ (at Ko Tao)

At peace in Paradise 🏝 My first time on Koh Tao was back in 2001 and for many years I returned almost every year and saw the changes happening. What used to be a few huts among coconut trees along "Sairee Beach" turned into a major party mile. Washed out dirt tracks were turned into paved roads and eventually more luxurious resorts started to open business. However, it's now been 10 years since my last visit and I am very glad to see that Koh Tao is basically still the same old little rock it used to be and luckily managed to keep its beauty and charme. Bays like "Ao Tanote" where we are staying (see picture) are still very remote and quiet, actually almost too quiet for my taste. I mean seriously, who closes a beach bar at 10pm... Anyway, it's perfect for us as a family and it offers amazing snirkeling. And once our good friends from Germany come visiting us next week I'm sure we'll find a way to keep the bars open past midnight. 🙌🏼 (at Kho Tao Island)
