Known by Pateira de Fermentelos, it is the largest natural lagoon in the Iberian Peninsula. There are habitats, ecosystems and species with national and international protection status. A fantastic place to visit…
Sirven también como controladores de plagas. Sus ninfas son muy diferentes al estado adulto pues parecen hormigas de color rojo encendido.

I am absolutely delighted to let you know that my new album, 'ECOSYSTEMS' has just been published: stanislav.photography/ecosystems
It has been presented at the Club of Rome 50th Anniversary meeting, the United Nations COP24 conference on climate change, a large exhibition held at the Mathematical Institute of Oxford University and the Environment Europe Oxford Spring School in Ecological Economics and now at the United Nations World Urban Forum 2020. There are only 450 copies left so you will have to be quick: stanislav.photography/ecosystems
You are most welcome to explore my new website: stanislav.photography/ and a totally new blog: environmenteurope.wordpress.com/

Amidst the dynamic ecosystem of Lagos Yaguacaca, the Great Egret (Ardea alba) stands as a beacon of tranquility. This photograph captures the bird in its poised vigilance, a sentinel in the marshes. The egret's stark white plumage, set against the dense greenery of Leticia, Colombia, illustrates the bird's adaptation to its wetland habitat. The striking yellow beak, a sliver of color, punctuates the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the bird's elegant profile.
In this frame, my focus was on isolating the egret's form to emphasize its role within the ecosystem. It's a moment that speaks to the egret's solitary nature and its prowess as a hunter. The composition is a deliberate balance of color and space, inviting contemplation on the simplicity and complexity of nature. As a conservation photographer, these are the instances I seek to share, hoping to bridge the distance between our human experience and the natural world.

Went out for a walk in the rocky shore of Vuosaari, Helsinki.
I found a nice location and started to wander around.
Found this composition after getting my shoes and socks wet, because I wasn't paying attention to the waves. Lesson learned.
I proceeded to set the tripod, grabbed the camera from the backpack as well as the Sigma 18-35mm lens.
After taking a couple of test shots, it became obviously clear that the image needed a polarising filter to expose more detail underwater, and a graduated filter to calm down the bright sky.
I took three shots, first focusing on the rocks in the foreground, then the partially submerged rocks just a few meters away and then all the way to the island with the trees.
After finishing the trip I sat down in front of the computer monitor and started working on the images. I processed the images the way I liked them and proceeded to focus stacking them in Photoshop.
So here's the result of a lovely mid-day walk with wet shoes, hope you enjoy the image.

Wilton church is well worth a visit for its eclectic building and decorative styles. The churchyard also has quite a bit of interest. I was taken by the colour combinations produced by the lichen, ivy and mosses growing on this particular grave stone.
The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is a hotbed of Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis) habitat. Bighorns face many challenges - several of them resulting from humans and our impact on the landscape. But they are a strong species supremely adapted to their environment. Bighorns are an icon of the American West, and a symbol of freedom and wild spaces.
This short film is the first installment in a series that will explore six iconic animals of Yellowstone. Stay tuned for further content along these lines.
Filmed on location in Cody, Wyoming; DuBois, Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park.

A feral goat foraging and traversing along the escarpment of Pu’u'ohulukai on the leeward coast of Oahu. This feral goat is not a true ibex, but is known colloquially as the Hawaiian ibex as well as Hawaiian feral goat and Spanish goat. Since introduced, they were kept by islanders for meat and milk, undergrowth clearance, and hunting. With remarkable adaptability, colonies of wild goats are present on remote or inaccessible terrain on all the main Hawaiian Islands. There is concern their grazing and trampling can inflict damage on native ecosystems and endemic flora so ibex populations are managed through hunting. Interestingly, goats have an extensive and significant presence in mythology and folklore with depictions ranging from heroic to demonic.
The oldest and second largest Gary Oak Tree in British Columbia stands majestically beautiful, silhouetted against a mid March evening sky!
I took this image on March 15/13 and am so glad I did, because this three hundred plus year old ancient Gary Oak tree was felled by a bad wind storm on Thurs Dec 20th 2018. The high winds on Vancouver Island forced many trees down and lots of damage to power lines, homes and property. It's been two days and many residential homes and businesses are still out of power. We just got our wifi back this afternoon, so thought I would post a pic of this beautiful tree as I remembered it!
Garry oak and associated ecosystems are home to more plant species than any other land-based ecosystem in coastal British Columbia. Many of these species occur no where else in Canada. Several species have already been eliminated in British Columbia. Garry oak and associated ecosystems are among the most endangered in Canada. Many of the remaining Garry Oak environments are found as fragmented communities isolated from other Garry oak communities. Isolation and fragmentation reduce opportunities for the genetic mixing thereby reducing the long-term viability of the species.
The long train journey home from sunny Chatham Dockyard in Kent to a dark and rainy Yorkshire, provided a perfect slice of time to reflect upon the broader story we’re a part of. The story being, that of all the interrelated resources and skills that surround the building and preservation of traditional wooden boats.
Whilst the idea of a boat, or even a fleet of boats, begins with a thought or a specific need, the conversion of that thought into any form of practical reality, requires a partnership with nature. It also calls upon the skills of the forester who knows intimately the timescales involved and the optimum conditions in which to grow each tree.
Left to its own devices, nature does a wonderful job of regenerating itself, the wildlife playing its own role in the redistribution of the various seeds that come from each variety. Creating the long, tall planks required for a ships hull on the other hand, require the trees to be grown in specific conditions that result in straight trunks and energy diverted in reaching for the light of the canopy.
It’s clearly a vast subject and one that could easily take a lifetime to study. And so the aim will be to get straight to the people who know the subject inside out. With their help we can focus in upon the specifics, namely the trees involved, the growth cycles and how they’re harvested once maturity has been reached.
Interestingly, we’ve been offered access to some Cumbrian, wind-felled oaks, blown down in last winter’s storms. These will need cutting and milling on site, so should make a fascinating part of the story to illustrate how the planks that end up being bolted to a hull, make their respective journeys from acorn to tree, then from tree to planks and all the stages in-between.
And talking of taking time to reflect, it’s almost time for our annual trip to the South West coast. A perfect place to stand back and form the long view. It’s also just the spot to see the old wooden boats on the sea, to meet the people who keep them afloat and in turn, play their vital role in preserving these long established traditions.

Welcome to the land above the tree line, the Alpine Tundra Ecosystem inside Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. The area starts around 11,000 to 11,500 feet above sea level, and the quick change is pretty dramatic, especially along the Trail Ridge Road. Alpine tundra conditions occur in mountains all around the Earth. It is marked by stunted growth in plants and lack of trees due to colder temperatures, high winds and diminished greenhouse effect at these higher altitudes.
Tech Specs: Canon 6D, Canon EF70-200mm f/2.8L USM lens, HDR image 1/640 and 1/250 seconds, ISO 500, f/20, 200mm. Image date: September 21, 2016.
There are a number of birds that call the back garden their ecosystem. It always nice to watch them as they go about their business. There’s been a family of Blackbirds in the garden for so long. I love the bright yellow beak against the darkness silky black feathers of the male blackbird. And the yellow ring around the eye. A beautiful bird.
