Every summer, Europe burns.
France - Departement Var, 20.-23.07.2026
Large-scale firefighting operations in response to wildfires spreading across Europe.
French firefighters battle rapidly spreading wildfires across the Var department in southeastern France between 21 and 23 July 2026. Strong Mistral winds let the fires repeatedly reignited and spread into new areas, which led to major aerial and ground firefighting operation involving helicopters, Canadair CL-415 water bombers and Dash 8 aircraft.

It was the start of a big change and why all of this existing now.
There will be a photo story…
Stay tuned.

A massive thank you, for choosing me!
Wanna See more?
Documentary and Reportages in Photojournalism is a high effort business. Not only because of the equipment, but also on the running the job costs for example: Research combined with getting access to special locations, and events, find locals / guides are like one of the most time intensive activities and talking about accommodation and travel costs, everybody knows what this is even if you not book high comfort stays its bombing a whole into your wallet like probably nothing else.
So start today, getting into this journey with me and make a difference with your support. Help me to finalize my projects. See the world through my eyes. Getting into more exclusive spots. Join the trip!
Benefits:
Of course when we spent money we all wanna have something more out of it, than “just” a good feeling. Because at the end of the day we all gonna buy some food for our families and renting a roof on above our heads. So far I can’t offer more than early access to my finished stories and this website. Because everything else like exclusive content, getting in touch with me and all of this effort I put in my work showing to you, is already for free. It just needs a little support from you that I have the time to maintain this Website. Thank you a lot :)
For the equivalent of about 2.8 liters of diesel or 0.5 liters of beer in the next pub, you can support me enormously! What you get: First and foremost, a good feeling for supporting an independent creator. Your name and/or logo becomes part of my journey and will be visible at the "WALL" of supporters. And from time to time: wallpapers for your phone or desktop. That’s it. No other paywalls. No pressure. Just a little support as fuel for the Road.
