As we got closer we started to discover its nature: an unprecedented congregation of rays. The group was

Very few people visit this wilderness. Maybe this bear had never seen a person before. It rose up on its hind legs to get a better look, waving it

Some of Florian's photographs from Baja California are published in the Japanese magazine DAYS JAPAN. At first glance, Baja California appears dry, dusty and hostile to life. Like a long finger, the land extends more than 1200 kilometers to the south. For months, in some places even for years, the country thirsts for rain. It is due to a cold sea current, which flows south along the coast of the Baja Peninsula. The west winds can only absorb very little moisture, which quickl
