The following thumbnails represent a growing collection of stills from video and camera depictions of the natural beauty of the nature found in the Wildlife Sanctuary.
The following stills aren't professional photography, just some efforts to share, via the scanned photograph, the beauty of what a couple of amateurs can find when immersed in Nature's beauty. So we ask you, the discerning surfer, to bear with us, and perhaps enjoy yourselves.
The following images have been divided up into two sections, pictures from video, and pictures from camera. In general, the pictures from camera, (ie, the scanned photos) are of much higher quality, but are also much larger. The average file size is 100k a picture, so please be prepared for a bit of a download, but also be prepared to be impressed!
Note that another page has been added to this, and another page on top of that...
