The iconic South Tufa at Mono Lake, CA. On a five-day road-trip around California I made sure to swing past, as this was a spot I had wanted to shoot at for a while. I really couldn’t have asked for better lighting. The layered clouds made for a spectacular backdrop against the sky, and the shifting light meant that the view changed every few moments- you can see in this shot that the tufa in the centre of the shot are in light while off of to the right, the water and formations are in shadow. With a polarizer filter, the contrast in the sky and with the calcified features was so striking. While I can’t wait to go back someday for a shoot with my whole kit, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed myself that afternoon. May 2007.

Our ship the wonderful “Polar Pioneer”, anchored near barren peaks off Deception Island in the Antarctic Peninsula.
This was a lovely soft pink gerber macro which i plasticised and polarized but left the colouring natural
When ever I see animals up close and personal that are in captivitiy…cant help but wonder what “thoughts” go through their minds….this Polar Bear looks contented but…’ I Wonder..?”

A solitary Polar Bear contemplates portents in the Arctic sky. Will Summer bring a bountiful supply of food or will global warming melt too much of the Polar ice and bring starvation or drowning for his kind? We can make a difference by reducing the use of electricity and fossil fuels like gasoline. We bought an e-scooter last year, runs on battery and doesn’t polute. It’s fantastic! What will your contribution to the environment be for this year? 25% of profits from each poster sold will go directly to Defenders of Wildlife in their efforts to save the Polar Bears of the frozen (but rapidly melting) North Pole. Thanks for caring.

Cs3 treatment. Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century, and its projected continuation. Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the 100 years ending in 2005.1 The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes “most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations”3 via an enhanced greenhouse effect. Natural phenomena such as solar variation combined with volcanoes probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950 and a small cooling effect from 1950 onward.5 These basic conclusions have been endorsed by at least 30 scientific societies and academies of science,[7] including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries.8[10] While individual scientists have voiced disagreement with these findings,[11] the overwhelming majority of scientists working on climate change agree with the IPCC’s main conclusions.12 Climate model projections summarized by the IPCC indicate that average global surface temperature will likely rise a further 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) during the twenty-first century.[3] This range of values results from the use of differing scenarios of future greenhouse gas emissions as well as models with differing climate sensitivity. Although most studies focus on the period up to 2100, warming and sea level rise are expected to continue for more than a thousand years even if greenhouse gas levels are stabilized. The delay in reaching equilibrium is a result of the large heat capacity of the oceans.[3] Increasing global temperature is expected to cause sea levels to rise, an increase in the intensity of extreme weather events, and significant changes to the amount and pattern of precipitation, likely leading to an expanse of tropical areas and increased pace of desertification. Other expected effects of global warming include changes in agricultural yields, modifications of trade routes, glacier retreat, mass species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors. Remaining scientific uncertainties include the amount of warming expected in the future, and how warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but there is ongoing political and public debate worldwide regarding what, if any, action should be taken to reduce or reverse future warming or to adapt to its expected consequences.

” We are all on a spiral path. No growth takes place in a straight line. There will be setbacks along the way…There will be shadows, but they will be balanced by patches of light and fountains of joy as we grow and progress. Awareness of the pattern is all you need to sustain you along the way… -Kristin Zambuka

Many years after I took the first photos of the strange rock formations we returned. I brought a long a new camera that took incredible 360 degree photos … in this one we were looking straight up the wall of another huge canyon … very deep and narrow .. Another collaboration with syd baker from his work And Let There Be Light 03: Owlspook Fractal I always have a lot of fun playing back and forth with syd … he takes one of my images and creates a 3d landscape or two or three and then I take them and see what I can do with them (big smile) here I decided to do a polar panorama and I really like how it turned out (smile) also available as Tshirt Colab 09 0015 C NC 090717 17
A cute Christmas Polar Bear vector – greeting card See my Greeting card series for 2009
11×15” – Oil pastels, colored pencils and gold acrylic pen on textured dark blue Strathmore pastel paper. The Polar Bear is listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species act, with global warming considered to be a major threat to its survival. As the sea ice melts, the polar bear has less habitat to hunt its food. According to the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), “If climatic trends continue polar bears may become extirpated from most of their range within 100 years.” View more of my artwork at www.lynnetteshelley.com
