Welcome to this website!
With an ecological background, I spent most of my career in the tropics dealing with biodiversity conservation and national parks management, study of ecological trends, and resources assessment and management.
My profession was an important source of learning of the components of the ecosystems, of the understanding of ecological processes, and of admiration of the systems as a whole. Needless to say that this exposure to all aspects of nature inspired me to capture some of its fascinating features on my camera.
With this site I hope to share some of my pictures with viewers, young and old, and exchange knowledge, understanding, awareness and admiration for Nature. A better knowledge, sensitisation, understanding and respect for biodiversity and our planet as a whole will hopefully lead to a reduction of the many dramatic threats our planet Earth is increasingly facing.
I hope that many readers will provide feedback and suggestions.
The 4 Galleries: Macro photography (photography of insects and small plants), Birds, Mammals and Miscellaneous are the cornerstones of the site. Below, please enjoy the latest pictures, and refer to the gallery for the full collection.
Please refer to the Information tab for scientific species names, as well as for equipmemnt used.
I hope you enjoy the site and if time permits, please take a few minutes to go to the Guestbook to share your views and suggestions. Being new on internet, it will greatly help me to improve this site and for the viewers to enjoy it more.
