TheWorldinLight Photographic Gallery
Photography is a visual medium. And so, TheWorldinLight logo takes the shape of the human eye. Picures in TheWorldinLight gallery come from
around the world, and so our logo uses the earth as the eye itself. The goal of TheWorldinLight is to provide images and information that
assists travelers in answering a single question:
"is this destination one that I want to visit?" In doing so, we hope to also entertain you. All proceeds from advertising and photo sales are
used for charitable and good-will projects. TheWorldinLight Photo Gallery was founded in 2005.

Photos of the world in light: Latest Updates and New Pages
December 14, 2015 A new page of photos has been added to show the rock formations
that exist at Whitney Pocket in the Gold
Butte region of southern Nevada. Additional photos of the
Little Finland area of Gold Butte have also been added.
November 1, 2015 After spending a month in Scotland, I've now created
a number of webpages with slideshows and brief descriptions of a number of locations
and sites within the country, including ancient castles, cathedrals, abbeys, fishing
villages and scenery. One might begin with
Hermitage Castle. From there, there are links to many other pages of Scotland photos. I hope
you'll enjoy them.
August 9, 2015 I've added more photos of Venezuela in separate pages. These include
The Trek to Roraima Tepui showing photos of the grasslands of the
Gran Sabana of Venezeula, as seen on the two day, two night trek to the Tepui. There's also new photos posted
of the The Top of Roraima Tepui. And lastly, new photos
of the Los Llanos region are now ready for viewing.
August 2, 2015 A webpage of photos of the
Markets of Morocco has been created and added to TheWorldinLight Photo Gallery.
August 1, 2015 Photos of Heidelberg, Germany has
been added.
July 29, 2015 A webpage of photos of Yellowstone National
Park has been added to TheWorldinLight Photo Gallery.
July 28, 2015 Pages of new photos from New Zealand were created today and uploaded. They are:
New Zealand Scenery, showing landscape photos taken from the north end of the North Island
to the south end of the South Island. Another page has photos of Maori Art.
July 27, 2015 Additional photos have been added to the Chicago Photos site
and to the Frog Photos page.
July 2, 2015 I added many more photos to the
Lagrasse Photos page today - a city I loved and lived near for a month in 2014.
June 9, 2015 We now have redesigned our pages for mobile browsing. Both PC and Mobile browsing pages
exist, but there is not yet an auto-redirect. Our PC pages each have a "To The Mobile Page" button and the Mobile pages each
have
a "More Info on PC Page". These buttons allow users to move easily between PC and Mobile versions. When browsing PC pages,
all links go to other PC pages. When browsing mobile pages, all links
go to other mobile pages.
June 1, 2015 TheWorldinLight is in the process of creating a mobile platform for our website. The original
version, designed for PC browsing will remain as a separate website. If all goes well, our website will know whether we're
being seen from a mobile device or a PC and serve content appropriate for your browser. This is a pretty big job and will
take awhile to complete. We hope our mobile browsers will be patient as we roll this out.
May 30, 2015 TheWorldinLight Photo Gallery has transferred our website to a new hosting
service company. The only noticeable change you, the viewer, should see will be a faster
load time for our pages of photos. However, this didn't come without snags. We hope all the problems
that arose from transferring so many files - many thousands of them - have been identified and fixed.
If you notice any missing images, please let us know and we will strive to get them fixed. Thanks for
your patience.
May 9, 2015 My apologies to our viewers. The slideshow on the
Castle Photos page has been
wrong for quite some time. It's now corrected.

has been changed.

June 21, 2009: Updated the New Zealand page with additional photos.
June 19, 2009: Way overdue - I have created the site: Roraima Tepui of Venezuela. I climbed this mountain in
2006. The first men to climb it were part of a National Geographic Expedition in the early 1900's. Tepuis are unusual mountains that rise nearly
vertically from the surrounding rolling grasslands of the northern parts of South America. The sheer vertical cliffs make the peaks nearly
totally inaccessible and isolated. Consequently, the flora and fauna atop these tepuis have evolved separately from their surroundings. It's
estimated that up to 50% of species found there are found nowhere else on earth. Just a tad more - Roraima Tepui and the National Geographic
expedition was the basis for a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novel entitled "The Lost World".
Also long overdue are the photos of the Angkor Temples of Cambodia. These
photos were taken in 2003 with a Minolta X-700 film camera. The film was ruined during processing in Cambodia. The decision to process there
was intended to avoid multiple exposures to airport x-ray machines during a multi-country trip. The film negatives were subsequently scanned and processed
via Photoshop as best I could. I've also uploaded a more general site on Cambodia.
June 18, 2009: I've started a page I'm calling Residential Wildlife. This
page contains photos of an assortment of insects, flowers, and birds I see in the garden around my residential home in Michigan.
I returned home in March after living in Peru for several months. I've added photos of
Arequipa and the
The Colca Canyon - possibly the deepest canyon in the world.
As part of my visit to the Colca Canyon, I took many photos of
Andean Condors
at Cruz del Condor at the edge of the Colca Canyon in Peru. When visiting the Colca Canyon, I spent a couple of days in
Cabanaconde, Peru, and enjoyed the friendliness of these hard-working
people of Quechuan descent. I also visited the city of
Chivay, Peru. Following my visit to the Colca Canyon, I traveled to Cusco,
and from there went to the beautiful and famous Incan ruins of
Machu Picchu in the Andes Mountains.
These sites are meant to give potential visitors an idea of what there is to see and do in these places.
I am also adding a slideshow option for the viewing of the large images on the thumbnails pages. This is being done gradually, on a page-by-page
basis. Photos can now be viewed by using the
cursor rollover function, clicking an image to open the larger version and then stepping through large images one at a time, or using this
slideshow option to view the large images displayed on that page. Enjoy!
I am gradually expanding my
gallery of photos, so please come back often.
I hope you enjoy the new photos on TheWorldinLight
Photographic Gallery.
Get started in macro photography by reading the
Beginner's Guide To Macro Photography or simply enjoy looking at macro photos while reading my article entitled
