Underwater nature photography related to the theme of the Coral Museum (Museo del Corallo) in Alghero, depicting a stunning red coral (Corallium rubrum / sea fan). In the center of the image stands a huge, bright red, finely branched, fan-shaped coral colony, clinging to a rocky reef covered with colorful marine plants and bryozoans. In the background, the deep blue, crystal-clear sea water is visible, in which schools of small fish swim around the coral in a water column that gradually brightens towards the surface.

An interior view of one of the modern exhibition rooms in the Meissen Porcelain Museum. In the center of the room is a large, multi-tiered, rounded display stand in bright magenta (neon pink). The stand displays various sizes of highly detailed, pure white glazed porcelain animal figures, including a reclining lion, a goat, a polar bear, and various birds (such as herons and birds of prey) on the upper levels. Along the left wall are illuminated glass display cases with dark frames, also on a bright magenta background, containing countless smaller porcelain figures. Lower, horizontal glass shelves run along the right wall.
