Shot in the south-west of Western Australia. I seriously love the work of Peter Dombrovski, best known for his incredible landscapes in the Tasmanian wilderness (some instrumental in preventing the damming of the Franklin River). He also did some close-up work, and here, I’ve made some attempt to convey nature the way he did. I’ve got a very long way to go!!!! This is just a tiny section of rock at Canal Rocks, but for the little seacreatures pottering in these waterholes, it’s probably like an enormous gorge.

This is a literal interpretation of the old saying, “Salt of the Earth”.
This is the lighthouse that sits all on it’s own just off Station Pier. I love it. It’s so quirky. / – Dog photography – Africa photography / - Beach photography - Black & white photography – Dog photography – Africa photography / - Beach photography - Monotone photography

The Turkey Vulture, Cathartes aura, also known in North America as the Turkey Buzzard (or just “buzzard”), is a bird found throughout most of the Americas. One of three species in the genus Cathartes, in the family Cathartidae, it is the most common of the New World vultures, ranging from southern Canada to the southernmost tip of South America. It inhabits a variety of open and semi-open areas, including subtropical forests, shrublands, pastures, and deserts. The Turkey Vulture is a scavenger and feeds almost exclusively on carrion. It finds its meals using its sense of smell, flying low enough to detect the gases produced by the beginnings of the process of decay in dead animals. In flight, it uses thermals to move through the air, flapping its wings infrequently. It roosts in large community groups. Lacking a syrinx—the vocal organ of birds—its only vocalizations are grunts or low hisses. It nests in caves, hollow trees, or thickets, generally raising two chicks each year, which it feeds by regurgitation. It has very few natural predators. In the United States of America, the vulture receives legal protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. With a wingspan of 173–183 cm (68–72 in) and an average weight of 1.4 kg (3.1 lb), the Turkey Vulture is a large bird. It has dark brown to black plumage, a featherless, purplish-red head and neck, and a short, hooked, ivory-colored beak. The Turkey Vulture received its common name from the resemblance of the adult’s bald red head and its dark plumage to that of the male Wild Turkey, while the name “vulture” is derived from the Latin word vulturus, meaning “tearer” and is a reference to its feeding habits.
Cove harbour again. Such a fabulous place to visit, so much to Sea!! / This is from a series of shots on the subject of rust. / / / / /
I thought i’d have a go at some vector work. I wanted to keep it clean and simple in order to maximise it’s impact. The ‘32 ford is stuck in my mind at the moment. It’s such a minimal yet powerful piece of rolling sculpture.
Out West the land is being eaten by salt. / As the trees and bush are cleared the water level rises and the salt comes to the surface, poisoning the water and land. The trees that are left struggle on but most of them will die, except those lucky enough to be high on the ridges and hills. / But the saltlands also have a deadly beauty; where it has settled, it becomes a deep, almost luminous pink…where it flows, it becomes a gigantic serpent slithering across the ancient landscape, swallowing everything in its path, depositing even more poison along its flanks. / Yet it is still my country. / Still part of my soul. / It reminds me what we are doing to Earth. / It is not good. 60×60cm / Acrylic, charcoal and ink on stretched canvas / Original for sale to good home with kittens :)
Pacific Grove, CA, shot on a recent trip to the Monterey Peninsula….06/03/09 1:15 PM low tide and a clear day……the fog burnt off by about 9:00 AM and the rest of the day was gorgeous. The Ice Plant in the foreground was stunning and too beautiful to pass up….ENJOY! / / /

Worrim Beach, Bribie Island, Queensland Australia / When I was shooting this series I was waiting for the wave wash and had not concentrated on the rule of thirds. In my post shot look I could not bring myself to crop the foreground nor the sky so we have the rule of halves come into play. “If you look like loosing good detail don’t mess with it” Nikon D40X / Nikkor 18 – 55mm lens My Images Do Not Belong To The Public Domain. / All photographs in this portfolio are owned and copyright / © Barbara Burkhardt. / Any reproduction, modification, publication, transmission, transfer, or exploitation of any of the content, for personal or commercial use, whether in whole or in part, without written permission from ourselves is prohibited.
