The forest is a peculiar organism of unlimited kindness and benevolence, that makes no demands for sustenance and extends generously the products of it’s activity. / It affords protection to all beings, offering shade even to the axeman who destroys it.

Canon 400D / Iceberg season is offically upon us for another year. This was the first Iceberg of the season for me. It was a very foggy and drizzly day, but these bergs were well worth venturing out in the weather. / / From the Northern tip of Labrador down to the eastern coast of Newfoundland, the sea that pounds and caresses these shores is nicknamed Iceberg Alley. Bergs born 10,000 years ago on the Greenland icecap dance along the coast and far out to sea, propelled unpredictably by wind and tide, tumbling, twirling, and breaking into fantastic shapes before melting in the warm waters of the gulf stream. / / An iceberg’s journey down Iceberg Alley begins once it breaks off from the edges of Greenland’s glaciers. Dropping into the ocean, it is gripped by the Labrador Current and carried through the dark ocean along the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador. In the past, during certain times of the year, the alley has been thick with the largest and most beautiful icebergs found anywhere in the world. They glide majestically along, alone or in groups, obscuring the horizon with their tall, jagged silhouettes. / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / / More in this series / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography
The camera really started to get pushed here, but the ISO performance on the new 5D is awesome… This is the line that produced all the damage in Bogabilla, Goondiwindi and the Gold Coast. Was certainly a long day, sat in the Sun for 6 hours for the cap to finally break from the outflow rush of the storms further west battling flies! (29/12/08)
acrylic on canvas… about the length of a door and nearly as wide. still thinking of a title, i have a whole series going for the september exhibition, will update soon. xxx c Sold
This giant chunk of ancient ice broke off the Iceberg on the horizon and was washed to shore. I carved and cut some of this ice as a keepsake. You can see the fog coming in off the ocean on the horizon slowly creeping its way to shore. The sun was shining but the wind blowing off the berg really chilled the bones. / / From the Northern tip of Labrador down to the eastern coast of Newfoundland, the sea that pounds and caresses these shores is nicknamed Iceberg Alley.

The power of mother nature. / Merewether Beach – Newcastle in NSW, Australia
A spectacular flowstone formation dwarfs a cave explorer in an enormous stream cave in western Thailand. The cave, Tham Lum Khao Ngu, is located in a National Park of the same name in Kanchanaburi Province west of Bangkok. The lighting is natural sunlight filtering into the cave from an upstream entrance and a karst window downstream. The caver is in the picture to give the formation scale. The picture was taken with a Nikon FM2 set on a tripod with shutter release cable and an exposure of about 2 seconds, using Kodachrome film.
Taken at The Pinnacles @ Cape Woolamai, Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia. I loved how the colour of this rock was different to all those around it. I took many shots of the one rock but think I liked this one the best. I really loved this place and cannot wait to get myself back there, there’s so many different angles this place can be captured from and I want to find them all! Taken with my Canon 40D and 10-22mm wide angle lens. 4 seconds @ f14, ISO 100. One of the photos in my Phillip Island series, please click here to see the rest of my images in the series
Photograph of two similar rocks. They look like a sculpture. / Photographer: Ted Widen / CanDuCreations / /
This sculpture captured my attention by its massive size and the energy…these two were truly dancing over Denver… 12 May 2009
This was shot at Lake Arcadia Oklahoma….From “My therapy Spot”! This was by far my easiest lightning shoot to date! I nailed in a time span of about 10 minutes…20 GOOD lightning shots! More to come….
These ancient live oaks have stood their ground for a long time, surviving hurricanes, intense heat, bitter cold, and every test that time can dish out. When I look at them, I’m filled with a sense of respect for them and encouraged to stand firm through my own trials.
The world stands out on either side / No wider than the heart is wide; / Above the world is stretched the sky, - / No higher than the soul is high. / The heart can push the sea and land / Farther away on either hand; / The soul can split the sky in two, / And let the face of God shine through. / But East and West will pinch the heart / That can not keep them pushed apart; / And he whose soul is flat – the sky / Will cave in on him by and by.

I went for a drive this afternoon in search of more bergs and I came across this coastal scene. I love photographing anything with a lobster pot in it. The iceberg on the horizon added a very cool element to the shot I thought. / / From the Northern tip of Labrador down to the eastern coast of Newfoundland, the sea that pounds and caresses these shores is nicknamed Iceberg Alley.

These things can be pretty nasty, the camera (and my hand) was like 4-5cms away!
A close up portrait of a robber crab….....also known as a coconut crab as they crack and eat coconuts! These are my favourite creatures on the planet! I’m fascinated by all the separate plates which join together to make up a whole crab! They are basically evolved hermit crabs in that they do not carry shells to protect their abdomen. They are very imposing, massive creatures with a scientific name of Birgus Latro and they can be blue or red in colour! Their leg span can reach around 70cm! The biggest i’ve seen had a body size 1 foot square and i was even lucky enough to see 20 in one small area feasting on a fallen coconut tree! Despite their size and somewhat menacing appearance, they are gentle and placid creatures who back away when threatened. Found on Christmas Island, Indian Ocean Territories, Australia. Taken on Canon 5D at f5.6, 1/40th sec, ISO 800, 400mm of 100-400mm lens. As is.
I don’t quite know what to do with this photo… I am open to ideas.. This was pretty much taken as is.. just tweeked it a little in CS3. I am sure that someone has some great ideas… happy to try anything… I love the tree!!! Taken at Yanchep National park some weeks ago (prior to the wedding)... Maybe it doesn’t need anything? I did have a play, but kept coming back to the original :)
I was first amazed at the size of this thing. But I like barns with silos and this one was one of the better examples near my home. LavenderMoon~
I have a friend who has a tattoo of Kokopelli (a tribal fertility god) on his shoulder which I love. It has insired many doodles and a whole range of characters adapted from the idea. I can’t call them Kokopelli anymore but I love them. This is one of my favourite ever paintings. I’ve managed to combine my love of abstract finger painting (background scenery – no paintbrushes were used in the painting process) and these cool little people.
