My new wolf friend seemed to like having his pictures taken – he stared “up close and personal” right into the lens. I believe it is only fitting to donate the proceeds of the sale of this image to a park that more than 200 wolves call home! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park

Wotan’s Throne looms over Trail Camp on the Main Mount Whitney Trail. I took this shot on our first trip to the Grand Canyon. This formation really amazed me when I saw how much it looked like a temple or cathedral. If you have the time and stamina, Wotan’s Throne is a nice, short diversion on a Whitney trip or a good acclimatizing dayhike that puts you smack-dab in the middle of spectacular views of the surrounding area. The Colorado Plateau is an enormous landform that covers most of northern Arizona and much of Utah, a chunk of northwestern New Mexico, and most of far-western Colorado. More specifically, the Plateau is an enormous uplifted tableland. To the north and west it’s bordered by the region called the Basin and Range; to the northeast it runs up against the Rocky Mountains; the south side borders the Mogollon Highlands; and to the east and southeast it adjoins the Rio Grande Rift. Geology of the Grand Canyon A powerful and inspiring landscape, the Grand Canyon overwhelms our senses through its immense size; 277 river miles (446km) long, up to 18 miles (29km) wide, and a mile (1.6km) deep.

The bridge reminds me of an emotion of solitude, which is not to be confused with loneliness. The former leads to an internal peace and being one with nature and oneself while the latter was a feeling of being forced to be alone, deprived of freedom and choice. I used to call this photo “Peaceful Bridge” until a young patient of mine (at the time she was nine years old) explored the difference between solitude and loneliness. When the image was presented to him as an illustration, he exclaimed, “Oh, solitude is peace, inner peace!” And the true title of the piece was born.

This photo achieved a highly commended status in the 2007 ANZANG: Nature and Landscape Photographer of the Year Award. Ironically the key factors in this photograph were all negative ones, bad weather, poor light, a pitiful ski season, and a less than ideal time to go. As a teacher I only have the opportunity to go ski touring in the school holidays which is either side of the best part of the ski season. Usually this means that I have to travel to the Main Range in NSW which is a fair hike from my home in Melbourne to get to any snow. I had spent the previous day skiing out from Thredbo to the ice covered Lake Albina and as this season had not been overly good the cover was quite patchy. The day I took this shot I had planned to ski up Australia’s second and eighth highest summits, Mt Townsend and Alice Rawson Peak but the weather had produced white out conditions on the heights so by default I ended up skiing below the cloud cover in Lady Northcote’s Canyon. Not too far from my camp I saw these icicles high up a cliff on the Gorge wall. Being alone and so far from assistance should anything go wrong I was in two minds as to whether I should attempt to get to them or not. On three occasions in the most difficult spots I reassessed this decision but the closer I got the better they looked so imprudence won out the day and fortunately nothing went wrong. I don’t know whether it was my presence or the icicles time had come, but after getting two frames off the whole structure collapsed, fortunately the shots came out well. The other element of serendipity was the poor light, in better conditions the icicles would have been dazzlingly bright mitigating any chance of capturing detail in their delicate structure. I have been back to this same spot on two occasions since then to try and recapture this scene with a tripod and better gear but the trips occurred in better conditions resulting in the entire slope having a good cover of snow and therefore no icicles. The fleeting nature of these sorts of scenes is one of the things I love about photography; you can literally eternalise unrepeatable scenes, be it icicles, a sunset or patterns in the sand, what a gift.

The doe took a little time off from busy eating for the photo opportunity, although she didn’t want to give up the tasty colorful leaf. By now everyone who has ever seen my work knows that I’m absolutely “addicted” to develop a deep relationship and establish an intimate communication with mule deer (we don’t have a lot of white-tailed deer around here). Everyday I go out there in the early mornings, hoping to have a close encounter! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada

This may only be a shaky handheld job on my little pocket camera (fujifilm finepix a500) but is one of the three pics I’m proudest of ...ever…. and it still makes my heart lurch every time I see it! It had been six and a half hour walk in and up from sea level to that point and comprised more rock scrambling than I had ever envisaged and a heartstoppingly precarious walk along the ridge. I had carried a small tripod every step of the way but the others waiting wanted to press on with even harder descent and 4 hour return trip so I had no chance to set up…..... / :)) The view looks back over Loch Hourn into the highlands from the top of Ladhar Bheinn, or ‘hoof hill’ ‘one of the finest mountains in Scotland with narrow rocky ridges and spectacular corries’ (Scottish Mountaineering Club Guide). It is 1020m but we had scrambled up and down on the jagged ridge repeatedly so had climbed considerably more. The last snows of the winter look reassuringly solid in this pic but in fact stood proud of the mountain leaving the sheer drop visible beneath. We had sailed into knoydart the most remote penisula on the scottish mainland from Mallaig into the hamlet of Inververie which is inaccessible by road, only by sea or a demanding walk of many miles. It is graced with the fantastic Old Forge pub with superb meals and imprompu nightly ceilidhs which walkers and sailors really enjoy! Deer roamed the gardens and early next morning I got the precious shot of morning gems Looking back in an amazing place For full details see heartbeat ridge Ladhar Bheinn, in the remote scottish knoydart peninsula For an idea of scale see also hey wait for me

My dog River posing for a portrait in the snow. She has ALWAYS liked her picture being taken since she barely opened her eyes at two weeks of age. Her litter mates ran around when the camera aimed at them but she stood in attention every time a photo opportunity showed up! :) I’m sure she’d be glad that I donate the proceed of the sale of her photos to Nature Canada as she loves woods and her deer friends as much as I do! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada.

This is a little bridge in my piece of the woods after the first snow. All is calm and quiet. Even the deer seemed to be walking gingerly – not wanting to disturbed the “peace”. Some may even say that the picture portrays a feeling of “eerie-ness” but for me, it’s just the quietness and serenity. This is why I’d like to do my part to keep nature this way! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada

My new wolf friend was determined to teach me how to howl after our shared lunch. He very “tenderly” took half of my sandwich from my offering hand with his mouth, lay it down on the ground and ate it layer by layer, slowly and savoringly, unlike my dog River, who would ALWAYS “wolf down” whatever is offered to her! :) So now he set out, just a few feet away, raised one front leg a tiny bit for emphasis and howled. I got down on all fours, copied the posture and did the same. Obviously he was a little dissatisfied with my learning so he repeated the whole thing another time. And this time he was happy with his pupil. What a patient teacher I had! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada

Zanskar 1984 Series. We were on our way to cross Shingo Lal. She was on her way to collect water for the family, whose stone hut is in the right background. We were resting for a few minutes and had stopped to view the valley that rose up and beyond, unseen on our left until virtually in front of it. That was the way of this trek – the mountains so steep and huge, always hiding from view other stunning landscapes. All we could do was look and marvel at these sudden vistas – our goal ahead of us always beckoned, excep for exploratory rest days, of which there were few and far between, and none until we reached our goal and began descending the other side. The girl said nothing, she seemed oblivious to what we found awesome, and her silent expression reeked of “What the hell are you people doing here?” Olympus OM1, slide. Scanned at 4,000 dpi. Untouched.

Flying from Gi’an to Yangshou in China last year. Early morning and the mountains of the beautiful Guilin Province were just appearing through the mist.

This shot took me somewhat by surprise. I had just spent two days hiking in Mt Buffalo National Park in Victoria, Australia with half of it off track. The previous day I had woken on Mt Mcleod and hiked straight down over the granite slabs to Rollasons Falls near the base of the mountain. To give you an idea of how hard it was, it took me 7 hours to hike 3km, quite treacherous in spots too, but magnificient country and vistas. That morning I had re-ascended the mountain via ‘The Big Walk’ to my car then went back to the Chalet to say good bye to The Gorge. Having been to Bents Lookout numerous times before I saw no point in taking my camera which until this point had been my constant companion. Of course as soon as I got there this amazing rainbow appeared sending me scrambling back to the car for my camera, fortunately it was still there when I got back and this image was the result which ended up being my favourite for the trip. For more pictures from this area check out my Mt Buffalo gallery. To check out other mountain photographs see my Mountains gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society

Zanskar Rafting 1984 Series It was days before finding a village to put in at the end of a day’s rafting, not until the Zanskar merged with the Indus did we resume seeing people. To say this village on this day was stunned by our quiet floating arrival was an understatement. It seemed everyone came down for a look-see. We tried to keep our river-borne intrusions as low key as possible, and there was no “winding up” or “big-noting” or loudness. We just pitched our tents to an audience and delayed making the rum punch until the locals’ curiousity was satiated and they sauntered back to their routines. And strictly no chatting up! A close-up version of this image is here Olympus OM1, slide. Scanned at 4,000 dpi

There were many ducks in the little “live” stream that was surrounded by thick ice and deep snow and I caught three close-ups. Both males were looking towards the less colorful female and she was the only one who tried to look through the ice at her own reflection! So I thought perhaps narcissism does not only exist among mankind…. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada.

The fawn looked as though she could not be more than a month old as her fur was all soft to touch and fluffy. She moved slowly and gently and looked into the lens, as if to say, “Hi, my name is Baby Fluffy”. :) I thought she was the cutest of all as she has long eye lashes and shinny tender eyes. And of course I’m pretty sure my “Baby Fluffy” would not mind if I donate the earning from her pretty face to save her environment. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada
