This Austin A70 is a permanent feature amongst the gum-trees on my father-in-law’s top paddock. You can tell how long it’s been sitting there by the branches growing in, around and over its body!

Critically Endangered, a census in Feb 2000 found only between 22-27 Amur or Far Eastern Leopards left in the wild. Found in southern Russia and northern China these animals are superbly adapted for the harsh winters of these parts of the world. They have long fur and a layer of fat on their flanks and belly for insulation. They are excellent climbers and swimmers. The main threat to the region is the exploration and exploitation of oil and natural gases. Increased Middle East instability, effective technology that can survive the cold and the high demand for fossil fuels, puts this wonderful animal’s habitat under increasing pressure. As you will see from others in my portfolio, I am quite fond of big cats! This image is also available as a colour version. Please let me know if you are interested.

Classified as Lower Risk, the giraffes of the African Savanna still suffer from the expansion of ranching and agriculture. Overgrazong has resulted in parts of the Savanna becoming a desert. / Giraffes have seven neck vertebrae, just like other mammals, but they are elongated to allow them to reach vegetation that smaller animals find inaccessible. They also possess a 45 cm long tongue!

Golden Lion Tamarins from South America are classified as Endangered. / By 1965 numbers were so low that the Poco das Antas Reserve was established in 1975 in an attempt to protect them. Marwell Zoo is now part of the Tamarin Conservation Programme and several pairs from the zoo have been reintroduced to the wild near the Reserve and are breeding successfully. / Visit www.marwell.org.uk This, I think, is one of my best cutouts. I love the golden colour – these little fellas are just so full of life and energy – they are terrific fun to be around. I think one of these days I’ll have to spend a whole afternoon in their enclosure (it’s a walk through) and sit with a tripod. It’ll be interesting to see what they make of me!

HMS Warrior is a nineteenth century ironclad. She’s a beautiful vessel moored permanently within the Historic Dockyard at Portsmouth. I pass her every day on the way into work and she never fails to give me a little lift. When I was coming home and the sunset was looking so gorgeous, I couldn’t resist missing my ferry home for this shot!

Classified as Lower Risk, the Congo or Forest Buffalo can be found in Africa’s Rainforest. Mainly grazing on grass and lower level leaves, they are nevertheless powerful fighters and can run at speeds of up to 57 km/hr. Note the swept back horns like the Bongo which allows them to escape predators without tangling up in vegetation. Where humans have introduced domestic cattle, buffalo populations have sometimes been affected by diseases and parasites carried by the cattle. Buffalo are also threatened by illegal hunting and loss of habitat.

Yet more from Marwell – what can I say? The animals there are so photogenic!

The Snow Leopard of the Himalayas is classified Endangered. There are only 4000-7000 left in the world. Hunting and the decline of it’s prey are the main threats and increasingly, man as climbers will often leave gear on the mountains which can injure the animals. / Snow Leopards live at between 3000-5400 metres. Thick fur on the soles of their feet insulate against the cold and they also have enlarged nasal cavities to help breathe at high altitude.

Today was a beautiful day, the sun came out at last, the rain stopped, that was enough for me, grabbed my camera and headed straight for Langstone Habour. The tide was out the sun was shining and it wasn’t too cold. There were 2 swans in the little pool of water by the redundant windmill. All I have done to this image is a simple sharp and change to b&w and that is it. /

Taken on the trail to “The Basin” on Friday October 3/08. Nikon D40, Nikkor 18-55mm lens. / The Basin is a naturally occuring granite bowl in the White Mountains range and is part of the Franconia Notch State Park, located in the heart of the popular White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire USA / On this trail are cascades and waterfalls leading to The Basin, which is believed to have been eroded 15,000 years ago while the North American ice sheet was melting. The Basin has been smoothed by small stones and sand, whirled around by the Pemigewasset River. / I didn’t make it as far as The Basin this time (have been there in the past), because I was caught by surprise in an unexpected downpour. I quickly shoved my camera into the case and wrapped my sweater around it. Then looked for my friend Wanda who was nowhere to be found. She had made it all the way to The Basin ahead of me. I was lucky to find cover under the roof of an outhouse at the beginning of the trail. It rained and hailed for about 20 minutes. When my friend Wanda made it back, she was soaking wet. This is one of two shots I managed to get. !

I awoke on Saturday 10-01-09 at 7-00am to discover the temp had dropped to -10c and everywhere was white with thick frost. I grabbed my camera and dashed to my car which was also covered in thick frost. I scrapped it clear and then sat in the car clutching my fingers they were soooooo cold it hurt. When they finally thawed out I drove into the country and took some photos. This first one shows the trees covered in frost looking so pretty.

North Conway, New Hampshire / Nikon D40, Nikkor VR 55-500mm lens / October 2009 “North Conway and its surrounding towns offer some of the best hiking in the White Mountain National Forest. It also features some of the best rock climbing sites on the East Coast, its gem being Cathedral Ledge in Echo Lake State Park. The 500-foot (150 m) cliff overlooks Echo Lake from the west and the Saco River and the Saco River valley in the east. Cathedral Ledge has an automobile road to the summit, which provides fine views of the Saco River Valley.” / ~ Wikepedia
