Katmai, Alaska.

 

We spent unforgettable days in a breathtaking and pristine natural setting, listening to ocean waves, wind, bald eagles and growling brown bears.

It's a magic place where you learn to talk to these huge predators ....

 

 

 

Lazio, Italy.

 

After a cold and humid night, each tiny detail on the frozen ground is covered with crystals with mesmerizing reflections. As usual, it's a matter of camera angle and comfortable working position....

Pantanal, Brasil.

 

Deeply concentrated while photographing abstract reflections of the caiman's silhouettes in the water, I didn't notice that the big lizard was getting closer and closer....

...in these cases having somebody, which is looking your back is crucial. I was warned in time, in order to get a healthy distance from the sharp caiman teeth. 

Too bad they forgot to tell me to take my shoes with me...

Pantanal, Brasil.

 

On a wooden 30 mt. high tower over the jungle to photograph howler monkeys

 

At the end of a wonderful trip in one of the most amazing regions of the world, very happy about my photographic results, I was sad to say bye bye to a "good friend" met in the Pantanal.

Neoprene waders are very useful to get some interesting points of view in the cold water!

When I originally planned to take pictures of nesting Woodpeckers (Northern Flicker)  I wouldn't have thought that wading in deep water would have been necessary.  Go to the July 2003 Pic-of the-month to read the story behind that action.

 

 

Unexpected weather for April 10th!! Photographing breeding Canada Geese.    In such situations it's very important to have a spare battery module under the jacket as the cold air and the Image Stabilizer considerably shorten the battery lifetime.

 

A black vulture and myself becoming friends at Anhinga Trail, Everglades NP - January 2003

 

In the Seal colony in Cape Cross, Namibia - October 2000.

In the background you may notice the wall separating the actual colony (which is behind that wall) from the public area...

Well, some seals came over near the parking lot through a broken section of that wall! (The life in the colony is too loud?)
