I was very surprised to receive the Natures Playground Annual 2010 lately. I featured several articles that I have made the last few year. I had been in contact with the magazine some time ago, but I had complete forgotten that. That's not so strange since I became a father and I introduced my new site http://www.earthillustrated.com last year.

The Annual 2010 features three stories that I all made in 2009. Minke Whales, also called dwarf Whales, made in Australia. Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, a result from my second trip to the eastern part of the Red Sea. The last story was the White Sea, one of my very favorite destinations in Russia. All of these stories have also been published in the German magazine Unterwasser in 2009.
