Web Changes
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.
Site Status as of June 29, 2009
I have updated the New Zealand page with additional photos.
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.
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.
