100% of proceeds received from Redbubble in respect to sales of this item, will be donated to Bush Heritage Australia Photo of a Gentoo Penguin taken on Curville Island, Antarctic Peninsula. The Gentoo Penguin is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red list of Threatened Species Melting sea ice and overfishing have triggered a dangerously rapid decline in penguin populations on the Antarctic peninsula – a direct result of global warming, warns a new report from the WWF. Temperatures on the frozen continent are rising five times faster than the global average due to the unprecedented rate of climate change, pushing four species perilously close to extinction. Warmer temperatures are forcing penguins to raise their young on increasingly thinner and more precarious ice floes, while stronger winds mean many eggs and chicks are being blown away from their parents before they are able to survive on their own. The gentoo, chinstrap and adélie – along with the emperor, the largest penguin species in the world – are now struggling to survive as melting sea ice destroys nesting sites and reduces vital food sources, such as krill.

Kanaha Kealakai / Maui North Shore Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved 18 December 2008 / This is a stitched composite of four images. / Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi “Kanaha Pond Waterbird Sanctuary is located on Maui’s north shore between the harbor and the airport in the shadow of the West Maui Mountains and Mount Haleakala. The pond is home to two endangered species – the Hawaiian Stilt and the Hawaiian Coot, as well as providing sanctuary to many migrant shorebirds and waterfowl. Most of the large ponds in the Hawaiian Islands have been degraded or filled for development. Due to the continued destruction of many of Hawai’i’s wetland areas Kanaha Pond was designated a registered natural landmark in late 1971 by the Department of the Interior, one of only two such sites registered at the time. Kanaha pond is historically significant. In the early 1700’s Kapiiohookalani, King of Maui, ordered the construction of twin fish ponds, one of them is the present-day Kanaha Pond. Stones of the walls of the ponds were passed from hand to hand for half a mile by a long line of workmen, many imported from Moloka’i, according to legend. The ponds were used for storing and fattening fish, because Hawaiian custom prohibited catching or eating fish from the sea during the yearly three-to-five month breeding season. It was permissible, however, to eat fish taken from freshwater ponds.” Quote – Read more here by Christian Melgar on Kanaha Sanctuary and Hawaiian History “Kanaha Beach Park is a long stretch of publicly owned wild coast on the North Shore of Maui Hawai’i. / Information Source: hear.org ~ Kanaha Beach ~ Natural Areas of Hawai’i / “It is comprised of white sand beaches, coastal dunes, wetlands, and a developed beach park. Kanaha Beach provides recreation for many residents on Maui, including windsurfers, surfers, kiteboarders, pole fishermen, divers, canoe paddlers, campers, joggers, bikers, general beach goers, and many others. Kanaha Beach also supports some of the last remaining strongholds of native coastal plants and animals left on sand dunes and in wetlands along the north shore of Maui.” There are over 30 plant species at Kanaha Beach that have traditional Hawaiian uses. Kanaha Beach also has many rare and endangered species. Kanaha Beach provides refuge for these plants, and today is one of the only places on Maui where these plants may still be found.

Much of Kanaha Beach is designated critical habitat by the USFWS Though not a hard core birding destination, Kanaha Beach Park is occasionally visited by native seabirds, waterbirds, and seasonal migrants. There are also many lowland introduced birds. The birds can be found on the sand dunes, in the scattered coastal wetlands, and in the developed beach park. Endangered Hawaiian stilts (aeo) can be found in the restored seasonal wetlands of Kanaha Beach after heavy rains raise the water levels in nearby Kanaha Pond. Endangered Hawaiian coots (alae keokeo) and Hawaiian ducks (koloa) can be seen in the canal that empties into the ocean at Ka’a point. Kanaha Beach is a release sight for native seabirds that become grounded. Kanaha Beach is also rich with many types of native and non-native Limu (marine algae). The limu is utilized locally as food.” Information Source: hear.org ~ Kanaha Beach ~ Natural Areas of Hawai’i

This historic wooden lighthouse stands amid huge boulders at the entrance to Big Tub Harbour. The harbour is a natural, sheltered harbour, just outside the village of Tobermory, on the very tip of the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, Canada. The village is a popular travel destination, both for it’s proximity to attractions such as the Fathom Five National Marine Park, Bruce National Park, and a ferry terminus for the Chi-Cheemaun Ferry from Manitoulin Island and for it’s own natural beauty.

Surreal red sandstone rock formations project out onto the beach at the edge of Cape Chignecto Provincial Park on the shores of the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy generates the highest tides in the world, and it is the eroding action of these 10 meter (32 foot) high tides that are responsible for shaping the landscape along this shoreline in such odd ways.

I took this late in the afternoon, after the best of the light had faded. I was attracted to the waterfall which was just visible through a crack in the rock face. I really like the contrast between the hardness rock and the soft flow of the water.

This is the Elephant’s Foot Falls at Randolph’s Leap. I was lucky enough to be shown round this area by Kevin Skinner whose passion for Scotland’s landscapes is truly inspirational. In the few days I was with him, he taught me much about the beauty of black & white, and even more about myself. Thanks a lot Kevin. Shot with my trusty Canon EOS 40D at a focal length of 70mm, and exposed for a second at f3.5

I was quite taken with this little run of water at Bruar. Not particularly dramatic, but I liked the way the water flowed like a staircase. Shot with my Canon EOS 40D and 70-200mm lens at 130mm. Exposed for 10 seconds at f16, ISO100
