Amidst the dry grasses of Namibia, between boulders and thorn bushes, you come across them rather unexpectedly: feral domestic donkeys, once introduced, now a natural part of the landscape. This trio - two adult animals and a younger one - stand curiously in the open veld, their ears pricked up, their eyes fixed directly on the camera.
The scene seems almost staged - and yet it is a pure portrait of nature. The animals' gaze is open, direct, friendly - and with a pinch of scepticism. The intense afternoon sun bathes the fur in warm colours, while the surroundings appear calm and vast.
Feral donkeys are survival artists in Namibia. They have adapted to the harsh climate, live independently and yet always in social groups. This picture tells of precisely this adaptability - but also of character, attitude and a touch of pride.
A motif that surprises, touches and makes you smile. Ideal for rooms with personality - and for people who recognise the unusual in the everyday. These donkeys are more than just supporting actors - they are little stars of the savannah.
I have brought back many photo impressions from my travels. So that you can also enjoy the impressive pictures, I offer selected photos here that can be printed on canvas, as posters, on acrylic glass and even more media. For more travel inspiration, visit my website.. Read more…
