I am thinking of aurochs and angels, the secret of durable pigments, prophetic sonnets, the refuge of art. And this is the only immortality you and I may share, my Lolita / / / butterfly hand drawn =] / artwork here

La Rue Obscure is the oldest street in the old town of Villefranche sur Mer on the French Riviera, between Nice and Monaco. It was built on virgin soil at the beginning of the 13th century. La Rue Obscure formed the basis of the rest of the town’s construction on the slopes rising from this coastal lane. It gave inhabitants of the town certain refuge against possible attacks. The ship captains who were forced by storms to anchor in the bay, could make necessary repairs in safety. La Rue Obscure also welcomed precious merchandise, such as wine, in its cellars.

I can still remember my very first camera that my parents had given to me when I was about 8 years old. I took that camera everywhere and snapped shots of anything and everything, however it wasn’t until much later in life that I was really bitten by the photography bug. I was planning a big move to the Canadian Rockies and thought now is the perfect time to buy my new camera gear for shooting wildlife. I bought all the equipment I needed that would put me up close with all the wildlife that the mountains had to offer. So off I went chasing Bears, Bighorn sheep, Moose, Elk and Wolves… pretty much any critter I could capture with my lens. It was a fascinating and thrilling experience. Then fate brought to me a girl and she would change my life forever… Newfoundland is where I now call home, with my beautiful wife and baby son. This province is a photographer’s paradise. The scenes change from day to day and the opportunities for capturing them are endless. With my camera in tow I now begin my journey through Newfoundland, photographing and capturing her raw and rugged beauty to share with the world. I hope you enjoy the photographs presented here.

The rugged and treacherous coastlines give way only to the unforgiving North Atlantic Ocean. It is a coastline marked with lighthouses that act as ever watching sentinels to welcome weary travellers home. It is a land of beautiful & quaint coastal towns, villages and cities. Newfoundland is a land visited by frozen giants from the North that create a sense of awe when seen by human eyes as they float down what is known as “Iceberg alley”. It is a land visited by massive whales during the summer that attract multitudes to the shorelines. It is a land rich in history and folklore and it is a land inhabited by a people who will welcome you with open arms. It is a land you need to visit… Newfoundland… In Living Color, captures the raw and rugged beauty of a landscape still yet untouched and marred by man’s corrupt hand. It is a tribute to a true Eden and its people that dwell there. / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / / SOME OF MY FAVS / click on the image to link to that image / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
A couple of rocks offering a resting place to a pair of leaves. The intriguing thing about this shot as you walked downstream the golden reflection of the trees above disapears. I was shocked to see this vivid color as I walked to a point cross stream. Needless to say I just about tumbled into the water because I was so excited to enjoy this view.

A rescued Arctic wolf, Willow had never seen grass before she came to the Refuge. She had previously been kept in a small cage with no room to run. She now has 48 acres of space. The normal range of an arctic wolf is 200 miles.
One thing about Logan, Utah, is that the weather can change on a dime. One minute the sun is shining, the next, it clouds over and rains/snows/hails, then it’s back to sun again. Spring is really unpredictable, and I love it!! Here is a view of the Wellsville mountains about 6 miles from me, and the Bear River National Wildlilfe Refuge with the addition of my lovely Black Swan and a few other extras, of course… ;-)
Pine trees – many dead or dying – silhouetted by the rising sun filtered through morning fog. Salt water from the Gulf of Mexico has seeped farther inland, killing many of the slash pines in this part of the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, on Florida’s eastern panhandle gulf coast. Photographed with Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 (10MP/12x Leica lens).

We have several places we like to walk or hike at. This particular refuge is home to a family of bobcats. This young male came sauntering down the path towards us without any concern. We moved out of his path and he continued on without stopping. San Joaquin Wildlife Refuge, Irvine, CA, USA
