Autumn Blog

1st November 2011

It is the 12th November and I am sitting in the gallery in a T-shirt writing this with the door wide open. I can’t believe how warm it has been for the last couple of days. This morning I watched a Peacock Butterfly flying around my garden. He seemed to be looking for somewhere safe to overwinter and was checking out the gaps between the logs of my woodpile.

1st November 2011

I am planning a two week expedition to Namibia for November 2011. Through this winter I have been on two filming expeditions to Namibia and was deeply impressed with the wildlife and stunning beauty of the country. Working with my friend Wolfgang Knoepler who lives and works in Namibia we plan to spend several days at Etosha National Park photographing the amazing variety of wildlife before moving south to the Sousesvlei and the incredible orange dunes of Wolwedans. more
