Sunset at at Providence Canyon in Southern Georgia. The canyon formation, made up of a kaleidoscope of coloured sands and clays, owes its existence to destructive early farming practices in the 19th century as is was unknown at the time that the undulating hills were made up of deep sand deposits below a very thin crust of clayey topsoil. Once the topsoil had been disturbed the natural elements did the rest with the canyon progressively deepening over the subsequent 150 years. The dramatic pinnacles which remain are sections of clay which the sand has eroded around. The erosion gullies reach depths of 150 feet (or 46m) and are referred to by the locals as Georgia's "Little Grand Canyon". Providence Canyon State Park, Georgia, United States of America.
There are few things as impressive as the sight of a 30 tonne Humpback whale breaching. Shot taken near Five Finger Islands Lighthouse from S/V BOB . South East Alaska, USA
We stopped off at some sea caves in Alaska while sailing on S/V BOB and this little guy came running out to see who was visiting his remote home. American mink (Neovison vison) such as this one were once hunted extensively for their fur.
