Nocturnal overflight

  • Photographer
    Ľubomír Gottpreis, Slovakia (Slovak Republic)

A flock of seagulls aligned in an irregular flying string in the daylight
sky evoked a boundless freedom of movement in the seemingly
trouble-free space people envy birds so much. They took wing from
the seashore near the Moroccan town of Essaouira. The sky
transformed into a sparkling nocturnal heaven with the birds flying
under a mysterious blue eye reminds a children´s bedtime story
setting.

I am a university teacher living in Bratislava, capitol of Slovakia. I also spend a lot of time in Vienna. I like travelling mostly around Europe and North America. My photographs from my travels have been displayed in two exhibitions in Bratislava so far. Apart from photography I also make music and write fiction.
