- The aristocracy of the Mediterranean fauna is the hippocampus, so attractive and shy but this one was very proud to model attached in Poseidonia oceanica with the sunset in the background as a crown.

- This picture was taken during a photo expidition on Svalbard last year. I think this image captures the way the polar bears travel the ice on a endless hunt for food.

- The camouflage that Weedy seadragons use to hide in the temperate marine vegetation they derive their name from, is so successful that once they reach adulthood they have no natural predators. Unfortunately they are still at risk due to habitat destruction. The males of the species carry the bright pink, fertilized eggs underneath their tale for about two months before the fully formed young hatch and are left to fend for themselves.

- The Australasian Gannet (Morus serrator) colony on Popes Eye Marine reserve is one of the only known human made structure that hosts yearly breeding birds. I took this photo while freediving and was lucky to capture the ducking of its head underwater to curiously check on the intruder. Gannet eyes can see exceptionally well above and below the water by changing the shape of its lens - allowing it keep its focus on the prey, or in this case the odd creature with the camera.

- Curiosity got the better of me when I saw movement on the tracks ahead, despite current bear activity around the town of Banff in the Canadian Rockies. After walking beside the tracks for several more meters I saw an animal walk up from the Aspens, realizing it was an Elk, I was slightly disappointed, they are very common around town. However, when I saw anther Elk walking up the bank it became a lot more interesting. Then this moment came where both of these Females stopped either sides of the tracks looking at something in the distance, a wonderful moment of pure symmetry.
