Styria - Steiermark (Austria - Oostenrijk - Österreich)
At the age of three I visited Austria for the first time as a family member was living in the 'Steiermark' (Styria). In 1980 I visited this region again for three weeks and in that year the combination/passion of butterflies and photography started. In 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2013 I visited Tirol, Carinthia and Styria and during all my holidays I was impressed by the warmth and kindness of their inhabitants and the beauty of this country. The only thing what was, and still is disappointing is the number of butterflies. Almost every meadow in Austria is in use for intensive farming.
In the chapter Alpine Species you will find the Austrian butterflies which I photographed in the higher area's.
