Landscapes & Nature
From misty mountains, tropical rain forests, rivers and waterfalls, here you will find images of our natural beauty.
Over the years of photographing our beautiful twin island republic I have struggled to come to terms with the varied landscape with respect to what exactly am I portraying that would connect with the viewer. What interests me about our landscape, what about it is unique, if anything at all ?Well that question was answered when I observed all of the beautiful flowering trees in the dry season, the lush forests and trails we frequent when out hiking. The waterfalls, streams and rivers we visit as well as our characteristic hills and valleys when overcast conditions with low lying clouds descend on these ethereal scenes.
