Ruins of Ages Past


This grey and grainy image depicts Bamburgh Castle, built on a beach in Northumberland, England. The location was previously home to a fort of the native Britons known as Din Guarie and may have been the capital of the British kingdom of the region. The castle has a rich and fascinating history which can be explored extensively.

Seeking Tentacles


This stunning photo depicts a sea anenome, a water-dwelling predatory animal. Contrary to popular opinion the animal is named after the 'anenome' flower rather than the other way around. Sea anenomes are related to coral, jellyfish, hydra and tube-dwelling anenomes. 

Life on the Bank


This photo was taken in Pemberton, BC Canada on the Lillooet River. This village is ancient and houses only a few people  - very traditional members of the local Indian nation. The Lillooet River is a major river of the southern coastal mountains of British Columbia, in the Pemberton Valley north of Whistler Mountain.
