Photography is a visual medium. And so, TheWorldinLight logo takes the shape of the human eye. TheWorldinLight photos come from
around the world, and so our logo uses the earth as the eye itself.
TheWorldinLight Photographic Gallery was started by
Robert Stephens. Robert is a retired Research Scientist with nearly 40 published scientific articles and the holder of 5 patents.
Prior to starting TheWorldinLight, Robert conducted research on nanochemical hydrogen storage mechanisms to
support fuel cell vehicle development as well as research in renewable energies. He is also the inventor of "Smog Dog", a system for
remotely measuring the pollution from moving vehicles that was commercially produced and sold by Hughes Aircraft
Corporation in the 1990's as an alternative to mandatory annual vehicle testing.
Now as the photographer for TheWorldinLight, his gallery
specializes in prints of flowers, nature, and landscapes. He also has an extensive collection of photographs
of people and cultures and abstract images that have been acquired from 30 countries around the world. He still
actively travels internationally and regularly adds new images to his gallery.

This is where I'll announce the most recent
additions to my gallery. If you've visited this site before and want to know what's
changed since, take a look on this page first.
September 2, 2009:Still catching up with addition of photos from previous trips. The latest addition - photos of the rock formations of
The Toadstools of southern Utah.
August 21, 2009:I've just returned from an all-day visit to the
Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, MI. The Sculpture Park is loaded with interesting sculptures by famous
sculptors from around the world - claimed to be the finest collection in the midwest. The grounds are nicely landscaped with a stream,
waterfalls, and wetlands that attract wildlife. The Gardens have interesting collections of orchids, cacti, tropical plants, and carnivorous
plants.
August 14, 2009:I've just added some photos of the Detroit Riverwalk to the Detroit page.
August 5, 2009:After returning from a quick tour of several Canadian cities: Ottawa, Montreal, and Quebec, photo pages of each of
these cities were made available for viewing at the
Quebec City page, the
Ottawa, Canada page, and the Montreal, Canada page. I hope you enjoy
browsing these photos of Canada.
July 12, 2009: Photos of Ohio, including photos of Hocking Hills
State Park, the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, and Schedel Arboretum and Gardens.
July 6, 2009: just a few photos of the Amazon River Basin and Iquitos, Peru. These can be seen on the
Amazon River page.
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.
