The majestic Grizzly bear! 🐻 Known for their immense size and strength, Grizzlies are one of the most iconic symbols of the wilderness. Found primarily in the western regions of North America, these magnificent creatures are characterized by their distinctive hump on their shoulders and their fearsome set of sharp claws. Despite their powerful appearance, Grizzly bears are typically peaceful and prefer to avoid human interaction. They primarily feed on vegetation, berries, and fish, and their role as apex predators helps maintain the ecological balance of their habitats. Let's cherish and respect these incredible animals and their natural habitats.
In the heart of Northern Europe, I've been discovering the wonders of the world, one frame at a time. For nearly eight years, my Nikon camera has been my loyal companion. We've shared countless sunrises and sunsets, braved storms, and celebrated the quiet peace of a snowfall. This camera isn't just a piece of equipment to me; it's an extension of myself, a tangible piece of my soul that lets me capture the world as I see it.
Had a great time in Southern Alberta courtesy of my dear friend Jerry Herzig an expert birder and an exceptional photographer, encyclopedia of Southern Alberta Wildlife. I travelled to Manyberries, Alberta with my buddy Boreal impressions to meet Jerry who showed us our very first LEK, we also saw many nesting great horned owl pairs and nesting Ferruginous hawks. I was amazed at the number of birds choosing to nest in this part of the world around Pakowki Lake. Big thanks to Jerry Herzig for his kindness and a very informative guided tour.
It was a great to capture some faint Aurora during my recent visit to Hay River. This picture also captured all the help I got in producing these photographs, you can see my good friend Boreal Impressions, our ride and shadow of my tripod on the SUV.
Mushrooms typically grow in moist environments, often on organic material such as decaying wood, leaves, grass, or other plant matter. They are found in forests, meadows, gardens, and even on lawns. Most mushrooms thrive in places with high humidity and shaded conditions, where temperatures are moderate. The fungal threads (mycelium) beneath the soil or in the wood provide the nutrients necessary for the mushroom to grow.

A stunning view into the deep natural gorge of Ronda, Andalusia, where millennia of erosion have sculpted sheer rock walls layered with vegetation. At the bottom flows the Guadalevín River, passing through a canal near a small landing platform marked “Ronda,” hinting at the town’s hidden depths and natural wonders.
A tribute to the relentless Bird Chaser Boreal Impressions and the Daredevil Driver [https://www.flickr.com/photos/photonscatteringandabsorption] . If not for these two, I would not have been able to find this bird in the wild.
A vibrant display of euphorbia colonies stands proudly before a volcanic cone in southern Tenerife. The raw, volcanic textures and sparse vegetation capture the island’s dramatic natural contrasts between fire and flora.
In the protective circle of towering adults, a baby elephant takes cautious steps toward the watering hole — a timeless ritual in Namibia’s arid landscapes. This image captures a moment of growth, guidance, and the deep bonds within elephant families.
In this evocative image, the vitality and spirit of youth dance with the wisdom and contemplation of age. As an older man gazes upon the vibrancy of a young life, he is drawn back in time, stirring up echoes of his past. This quiet, reflective moment encapsulates a journey travelled, lessons learned, and a life well-lived

This Sri Lankan elephant, captured in black and white, showcases the power and grace of one of Asia's most revered species.
Known for their gentle nature yet immense strength, Sri Lankan elephants play a vital role in the island’s rich biodiversity.
This image emphasizes the intimate connection between these majestic creatures and their natural habitat, highlighting the importance of conservation efforts to protect them.
We drove an hour through the (sometimes) dry riverbed that runs through the Þórsmörk valley. The terrain was crazy and Lulli our guide loved to show off his amazing jeep - at times the angle we were driving seemed to defy gravity. We then settled at the start of this valley to trek to a hidden waterfall.
In the summer you get quite a few tourists here, but in the winter we were the only ones. We had to leap from rock to rock and jump across the narrower parts of the river. At 6ft 1" I had a distinct advantage over my vertically challenged friends ;p
I'm not all that into active holidays, but this was so much fun! My only disappointment is that I didn't note down the name of this valley.
