Stories of Indonesia

Indonesia is one of the largest countries on earth. The beauty and untouched nature of this unique archipelago can now be admired by tropical enthusiasts in the extensive photo book "Tropics & Traditions – Stories of Indonesia" by Manolo Ty.

The photographic artist takes us on a journey to the most remote indigenous peoples, who live far from the civilization we know, leading a life rooted in tradition and harmony with nature. In impressive shots, some taken from unusual perspectives such as from above with drones or underwater, we see unexplored jungles, lonely islands, mighty volcanoes, and dreamlike coral reefs.

Ty also builds a bridge to the vibrant metropolises of the country, which can hardly contrast more vividly with the breathtaking beauty of nature. He shows us Bali and Jakarta, which shine with imposing buildings that blend well with traditional constructions and the temples of Buddhism and Hinduism.

In the impressive coffee table book "Tropics & Traditions," Manolo Ty always tells captivating stories. About amazing encounters with archaic peoples, majestic natural landscapes, secluded places, and imposing cities.

Finally, a flower book that focuses not only on ornamental plants, but also makes room for the wild flowers we encounter along the way. In her new photo book "Wild Flowers, Floramour series," garden enthusiast Anja Klaffenbach turns her attention to all those wild flowers we come across during walks on grassy verges, meadows, parking lots, or hiking trails. Often rather inconspicuous, with small flower cups, these meadow flowers add color accents that define spring and summer.

However, the names of these beauties are generally unknown to the observer, but Klaffenbach now puts an end to this. In her known loving style, this edition of "Floramour" treats every floral theme. The coffee table book aims to be engaging, convey botanical knowledge, and present the plants from all angles, with photos, graphics, and drawings.

Klaffenbach has succeeded brilliantly in this, resulting in a photo book that is unparalleled. Both from the outside and the inside, the book radiates the beauty of our nature. Opening it immediately puts you in a summer mood, allowing you to enjoy the detailed and atmospheric images.

Our gardens create a unique visual and energetic impact. They are not just architecture, but also connected to their surrounding nature (Andrea Sanchez).

Ibiza is about beauty, not only the natural beauty of the landscape, the coast, and the mountains, the abundance of nature, but also the beauty in the spirit of the island. Water is a precious resource in Ibiza and continuously watering a lawn or plants that require a lot of water is both wasteful and time-consuming. If you want to have a lush, beautiful garden despite the Mediterranean heat and dry landscape, it's best to look for drought and heat-resistant garden plants. Not only will you save water and energy, but they also have a much greater chance of long-term survival and creating a garden with character and complexity.
