What a fantastic road trip this was. All the way from San Francisco to Kansas City.
It's taken me over a year to post these photos.
I don't post much about myself usually.
My life has changed a bit and my photography has suffered greatly. I'm studying Environmental Science now, while working part time and running an off-grid agroforestry style tropical fruit orchard.
I love our mother nature so much.
But taking photos of this lovely planet is one thing, seeing her suffer is another. Many of these beautiful places are disappearing or deteriorating. I want to be part of the solution, not the problem.
This is why my photography has become a lesser priority. It's been around 10 years that I've been running this account. Great to see that so many of you guys are still sticking around, despite the recent drought of new content.

I'm even contemplating to close down my account. Too much time wasted on social media and not enough time for the things that really matter and that make an actual difference in the real world.
I wonder if social media is actually making our lives better...?
What are your thoughts?

Finally got around to look through the 100s of photos from a US road trip end of last year. This canyon is truly grand. So vast, it's breathtaking. A landscape like on a different planet. It was overcast for most of the day and really cold but then the sun came out just before it set. I was in a bit of a hurry to get these photos.

FinFinally I got to see these amazing trees. So huge and so rare. Stockwellia quadrifida, named after the forester who recognised them as different and special. Victor Stockwell saved them from being logged in the 70s and it took another 30 years until they were described as part of an ancestral lineage to the eucalyptus.
It was awe-inspiring and felt sacred. Ancient, majestic, beautiful and resilient.
And a sad reminder of what this rainforest forest used to looked like, the forest that Aboriginal people maintained for thousands of years.
Until Europeans arrived and cut most of the big trees out in less than 200 years...

One of the most spectacular locations in #fnq and then there are these bizarre trees from the dinosaur age with massive edible pine seeds.
This waterfall has one of only a couple of stands of #BunyaPine trees outside of the Bunya Mountains probably dispersed by Aboriginal people hundreds of years ago on their way home from the huge Bunya gatherings that were held in the Bunya Mountains near the Sunshine Coast.
They are so yummy!

Happy New Year people!

This year has been one of the toughest of my life. Lots of losses and lots of challenges.
But at the same time it's been the best year of my life because my dream came true.
I finally have a place in paradise where I can grow a food forest. And its already growing really well.
I've started a YouTube channel called 'Gaia's Garden in Kuranda'
I will post regular updates on the progress and the odd workshop and how-to-guide

Hope the new year brings you all closer to your dreams! And make sure you follow them... πŸ˜Šβ€οΈπŸ™πŸ½
Visiting the cloud forests in the #springbrook #nationalpark at around 1000m above sea level. The forest is stripping moisture out of the clouds as they move through it. The clouds condense on the cold surfaces of the plants and the water trickles down the stems of the plants. When it hits the ground, it filters through the soil and ends up in a creek to find its way back into the ocean completing the cycle.
Cloud forests keep our creeks and rivers flowing all year around.
This is one of the many invisible #ecosystem services our #rainforests provide for us for free. 😊
#goldenshoulderedparrot up at #capeyork these birds are endangered and are loosing more and more habitat. Beautiful animals and so elusive. We found these ones on #artemisstation south of Musgrave Roadhouse on the PDR.
A must see for every #birdwatcher!
Remember this shoot
I got so many good shots and only ever published one here.
Here's a tribute to you Lisa! πŸ˜‰
Hi peeps, you might have noticed that I haven't posted anything in months. My equipment broke and I needed to shift my focus away from my photography and fully dedicated to a piece of land in the rainforest that I bought. A couple of months ago.

Then I realised how many shots I've never published and so I'm going to upload some throwbacks until my inspiration comes back to produce new works.
