World in Yellow and Green, by Jens Hieke

Each spring, Saxony’s hills turn into yellow and green stripes. Rapeseed is becoming more widespread, since it is used for the production of biofuel. Energy crops have been increasing areas of land which has been formerly used for growing food – a practice which in the meantime has become very controversial.

Photographer: Jens Hieke (Dresden, Germany) Registered
Jens Hieke was born in 1967 and lives in Leipzig, Saxony, Germany. Though he was a graduate librarian, but working for a broadcaster for some time. He was always fascinated by the unlimited diversity of the world, and only a few years ago he discovered photography as a wonderful possibility to capture the transient, constantly changing beauty of humans, animals and things. Actually a man of words, the passion for photography is more than an addition to his other love, the literature. He had previously photographed with the Samsung NV24HD, but currently the Canon EOS 500D is his catcher.
