With his eyes wide open and his camera in hand, Hubert Mahrsets out intonature on the prowl—keeping his eyes mainly on birds and insects. In this exhibition, the passionate nature photographer from Emden presents a small selection of his photographs taken in recent years, opening our eyes to many things that are otherwise all too easily overlooked. This exhibition invites us to rediscover our surroundings—vibrant and full of hidden details—and encourages us to experience nature more consciously and treat it with respect.
Younger visitors, in particular, are sure to be thrilled by the exciting interplay between the fascinating nature photographs and the miniature building blocks.
Let yourself be inspired by the unusual perspectives, creative “moments of light,” and a passion for photography.
Hubert Mahr was born in Büdingen in 1960 and has lived in East Frisia for more than 30 years. His great passion is nature photography. He finds the subjects for his photographs primarily in East Frisia and the Oldenburg Münsterland region, often around Lake Dümmer and in the adjacent Ochsenmoor. His collection of images is complemented by photographs taken during his vacations. In August 2026, his photo “Bee” won first place in the “Animal Portrait” category at the “Fascination with Nature at Ökowerk” photo contest organized by the Ökowerk Emden Foundation.
