Photographers Showcase Diverse Landscapes and Sports Across Europe
Landscape photographers and sports documentarians shared new regional portfolios and event galleries highlighting Swiss valleys, German architectural studies, and regional sports, according to a report by photografix-magazin.de. The newly published collections contrast the dramatic geological formations of the Swiss canton of Ticino with high-speed action shots from German harness racing and rugby fixtures.
Alpine Geology and Valley Photography in Ticino
Photographer Rolf Carl expanded his online portfolio to include detailed imagery from the Verzasca Valley, the Maggia Valley, and the Mendrisiotto region. The Verzasca Valley remains a primary photographic hotspot in Ticino, particularly around Lavertezzo, while the nearby Maggia Valley features complex river gorges, waterfalls, and diverse rock formations. Further south, the Breggia Gorge near the Italian border represents Switzerland’s first GeoPark, containing rock strata dating back approximately 80 million years.
Wildlife and Regional Sports Action in Germany
Documenting events across Germany, photographer Manu Wilms captured squirrels hoarding supplies in Oberhausen during the seasonal gathering period, alongside the return of regional rugby fixtures following the summer break. Photographer Wolfram Wilms covered the opening rounds of the local rugby season and trotting races at the GelsenTrabPark in Gelsenkirchen. Additional architectural and sculptural photography comes from Thomas Brahtel, who documented the civic design of the town hall in Ulm, and Wolfram Wilms, who photographed the interior art sculpture “Der Baum” inside the Gasometer Oberhausen during the “Mythos Wald” exhibition.
