This page is structured by Swiss freshwater lakes. The intention is to document the animal life in the lakes of Switzerland. All photos were taking with an Olympus E5 camera and different lenses (macro, super-macro and wide-angle).

The photos were taken in the spring of 2020 at different scuba diving locations like Wildsau and Steckborn.
