A homage to Wildlife Photographers

I recently visited the Bristol museum to take a peak at the 2011 Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards. I was overwhelmed by the captivating imagery, harrowing landscapes and sheer beauty of what was on offer. From dancing birds to stark seascapes, I highly recommend a visit.

Feeling inspired, I have tracked down a few of my favourite wildlife photos to share with you. Enjoy x

This mother orangutan and her baby were saved by the animal charity Four Paws from people who are paid to kill them. There are allegations that many palm oil companies in the area of Borneo pay rewards of up to 1m Indonesian rupiah (about £70) for each ape killed.
