Hans Silvester tells us a secret: there is nothing easier than catching a cat in mid-jump. It's not a matter of luck, but of organization, punctuality and, as Hans Silvester likes to say, "patience".  When you see a cat jumping off a roof, you just have to note the time. The next day, it will jump in the same way at the same place. The males make their rounds and it's all done with a pinch of salt. All you have to do is to be at the rendez-vous, and aim well.

Retour de Voyage has selected this photograph from the best-seller book "Cats in the sun" by Hans Silvester.

Fervent defender of ecology, Hans Silvester denounced the wounds of the Earth through his pictures. Blocked by a storm in Mykonos, the photographer found himself on this island for several days where he discovered that cats and humans lived together in harmony. From then on, Hans Silvester decided to photograph these graceful and peaceful felines. It is a work of patience, observation and taming which was tied between the photographer and these cats. To obtain such pictures, Hans Silvester knew how to blend into their environment and gain their trust. After fifteen trips to the Greek islands, Hans Silvester unveils these photos that only he has the secret, and transmits his love for cats. The result are magnificent photographs that highlight the grace and nobility of these free, semi-wild cats. Let yourself be dazzled and touched by these photos that pay tribute to them.
