Life's waterbased

-Sylvia E. Earle-

All right, this site is nothing really spectacular (but hey, it's my first one,
so bear with me...loads of room for improvement *grin*!), and I guess there's
nothing more to expect from someone who's life is dominated only by a few, but all
the more extreme passions.
It's all about quality, not quantity...;o)
And on that platitude, let's go on to something like a bio!
The teacher for the hearing impaired and learning disabled I initially was supposed
to be is struggling for a degree in Marine Ecology for almost four years now (and
without any bigger catastrophes coming my way, this mission should be accomplished
within the next eight months!). Keeping me from investing the necessary time in my
studies are world-shaking events like the publications of Harry Potter Books
(oh J.K.R., you're going to kill me!) and matches of the VfB Stuttgart , my favorite
soccer team, as well as the essentials of life, which in my case are worshipping the sea
in which form ever it might bump into me, reading and trying to write fanfiction
(make a wild guess concerning the fandom...) and killing myself doing TaeBo.
If you really want to do this to yourselves, there are some links way down at the end of
this page which will provide an even better glimpse into the preferences of my life - and who
knows, maybe we'll meet again in my guestbook - or on the message forum!
Cheers and salve! Kat

SALDANHA, SOUTH AFRICA, SUMMER 2002


As some of you definitely know, I spent a month of field research in Saldanha, South Africa
last summer. We were working on Southern right and humpback whales, counting and tracking
them, we took pictures and skin samples. I had a whale of a time - and if you're interested in
some piccies I took, just touch that beautiful fluke which will directly portkey you to my
Photoalbum! Enjoy!

GANSBAAI, SOUTH AFRICA, SPRING 2003


All right, here are the first piccies I took during my stay in South Africa this spring.
I was so lucky to be able to spend two months in Gansbaai at the Western Cape - two months
which were filled with my big passion only: Great White Sharks!
There will be more pics soon - until then, give that lovely shark a gentle peck on its nose, and
you'll be transported to my photoalbum "Gansbaai2003". Hope you have a little fun there!



Update 03/15/04


I spent a great part of the weekend ahving a close look at the different algae that grew (or rather
didn't grow) in my tanks. Unfortunately, the camera on the microscope I used only creates black-and-white
pix, but I hope the stunning beauty of those amazing sea-creatures gets across nonetheless! The funny
thing is that what you see on the first picture is actually a fresh water algae...well, strange
things happen...and the lovely structures on the last one show some minerals I found as well.
Enjoy!


Update 03/02/04


There's a lot of interesting, pointless, boring, funny, irritating and serious stuff going on in
my life.
Honestly *grin*!!
Whoever is interested should have a look at

where you can find my liveyournal.
And there will be a German version soon as well!!
Enjoy and have fun!

Update 27/02/04


Here they are!!
Finally a piccie of those two beautiful tanks and their according stirring devices! Now, aren't they lovely!!!
On the second pic there's a most beautiful chain of stained bacteria as I saw them under the microscope.
The tiny structures in the background that look more like green fog are viruslike particles.
And it's moments like that which make you finally realize why you're doing all this to yourself!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!
