“I saw this group of young horses on a huge meadow in Austria. They were calm but vigilant and when I got closer to them, they started to run together as a herd. It was beautiful to watch them and hear the sound of their hooves hitting the ground when they rushed away. ”

“In our second visit of Zielona Gora, we had been living in camping. There was a field nearby and some horses. Usually, they were far enough to take a shot, but that evening walking the horses came closer. ”

“We saw this raccoon in a park in Burlington. It's a beautiful park, close to the city, but with lots of wildlife. This raccoon was begging for food, since in the park a lot of people feed the birds and chipmunks. It was the closest ever I've seen a raccoon in the wild. ”
