Yesterday Panormitis and Hetty went to see the photo exibition called: "Wild Wonders of Europe".

We all think that we have to leave Europe to be able to experience breath-taking wilderness, but Europe offers a great number of wild animals and untouched nature. In the past decades much has been done to safe them. And it works, as 43 top photographers show us in this exibition. The exibition is developed in the spirit of the international bio-diversity year.

As you all know Panormitis is a pretty good photographer himself, so he knows how difficult it is to make a good photo, to choose the right moment to catch the right light.

We could see he really enjoyed it.

There were 100 magnificant pictures, in a beautiful outdoor setting in the town Den Haag.

I ad one example, Dalmation Pelican ofcourse taken in Greece. And the Matterhorn in Switserland

Dalmatian pelican - Pelecanus crispus - GREECE/LAKE KERKINI, MACEDONIA

At 16 kilos and with a 3 metre wing span, the Dalmatian pelican is, together with the great bustard and the mute swan, a competitor for the title "The World's Heaviest Flying Bird". All three species live in Europe. The Dalmatian pelican has made a very successful comeback in the last 30 years, thanks mainly to nature protection measures. Now it is quickly becoming a very valuable nature tourism asset. Lake Kerkini is one of the most productive fish waters in Europe, and supports as well as a vibrant fishery industry also tens of thousands of pairs of breeding cormorants, herons, spoonbills, grebes and pelicans. In 2009 an EU-financed cleanup campaign removed decades of plastic and other garbage from the lake. Can we make a difference? Yes, we can! Nature conservation works!
