Niagara Mist


The waterfall in this photograph is the world famous Niagara Falls. The Canadian Horseshoe Falls shown here from the Canadian bank drops an average of 188 ft into the Lower Niagara River. It has formed a horseshoe from constant erosion, and shockingly has moved back seven miles in 12, 000 years. It is thought of as the fastest moving falls in the world.

Across the Reflection


This pond is on the battlefield of 1066, between the invading Normans and the settled Saxons. This is situated in East Sussex, where pond life is important for the area. The county has an important network of natural rivers, but their wildlife is impacted by intensive agriculture on nearby farmland. 

Lose Focus


This colourful image represents a beautiful cycle in nature, that of pollination. The brown pattern along the petals of this flower serve as a pathway, enticing insects such as bees and butterflies towards the nectar in the base of the flower, and the pollen on the anthers brush onto their legs before they travel to the next flower.
