H2O-PICTURES

Working as a hydrologist I get the chance to spend much time near, in or on water. So when putting up this website I asked myself whether it would be interesting for others to see the pictures of rivers, lakes and oceans (and their surroundings, including plants and animals) that I have taken. I hope you are enjoying these photographs (stay tuned for more material to come up...).

The descriptions of the pictures are being shown when moving the mouse over them. Click on picture to zoom in (the larger ones are 20-30 KB each). As always in putting up these pictures I had to make a compromise beween quality and size.
