Echoes of Life: Bacalar’s Stromatolites

From above, the surreal turquoise waters of Bacalar flow around ancient stromatolites, Earth’s oldest living structures. These fragile formations, sculpted over billions of years, create a natural mosaic of stone and water—where beauty, time, and the origins of life converge.

About Artist

Daniela Schlag

I was born and raised in Germany. I grew up in the greater Bremen area, within Germany I lived 9 years in Bremen and for a couple of months in Berlin. I also lived 3 months in Murcia in Spain and for 1 year in Melbourne, Australia. I have a background as an Industrial Management Assistant, studied International Management and worked 10+ years in Procurement. I was always passionate about photography. During my first 2 1/2 year world trip (2017-2020), where I visited parts of Asia, Australia and Africa, I participated in a 4 week Wildlife Conservation Photography project in the Greater Krueger Area in South Africa, worked as a photographer in Melbourne, Australia, and learned scuba diving in the Coral Triangle, which was the start of my passion for underwater photography and marine conservation. Currently, I'm travelling again and my second world trip which started in April 2024 has already led me to parts of Asia (Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan), North America (Canada, USA) and Central America (Belize, Mexico). I focus on Travel, Nature, Wildlife and Underwater Photography and love to volunteer in Wildlife Conservation projects.
