This post contains a series of bird portraits taken in various zoos in Germany. The photographs are presented without further information except for the title and the location. No explanations, no talking. Just enough silence to allow for silent conversations between you and the image. What story does it tell you? Which emotions does it convey? Does it mean something to you? Why? Feel free to ask each photo and listen to its answers. The trees surely have some fascinating stories to tell.

For truly silent conversations, I encourage you to click on the photos for a larger view in an almost distraction-free lightbox. Prints are available on request.
