Photo of the month

Stag-gering sunset

by Jochen Langbein

“This day I was on the way home after only few good photo opportunities, when I spotted a herd of deer in the far distance that I knew should be approachable along a footpath, from where the sun would soon be setting behind them,” said Jochen. “The sunset was even more spectacular than I expected, and I came home with numerous photos and videos of this herd of stags grazing calmly beneath a red ‘mackerel’ sky.”
