Meet Mr Crotchety Pants…
This is Mr Crotchety Pants, he lives around Lower Sabie in Kruger National Parks and he does not like me one bit! When I say he doesn’t like me – it’s not like he’s taken a slight dislike , he…
A Different Perspective On African Wildlife Photography.
I’m chuffed that we seem to have some very different shots from our time in Kruger National Park this time round – and not just because of my shiny new infrared camera. Alistair has taken some stunning paint-like images of…
Photos and places that we have overlooked…

Frozen Ballet, tickets sold out for 2012… try again in 2013
OK, typical New Year new promises but there were good (hmm… justifiable rather than good) reasons for absence in gazing around and contributing. So, onto a better plane. Trees stand fixed in position as the full moon rises above the…
