Nature's Best Photography

Skyhawk awarded Nature's Best Picture of the Week 2011

Photographers from all around the world are invited to sumbit images for the review of Nature's Best Photography and each week one image is featured on the homepage. This year Skyhawk Photography won Picture of the Week 2011 for their image of Sandwich harbour


The Story: The stretch of dramatic coastline between Henties Bay and Sandwich Harbour must be hands-down one of the most magnificent flights in the world. On this particular afternoon, as we flew down the coast from henties Bay, it was a scorching 95 degrees Farenheit on the ground - and astonishingly, the temprature didnt change 2000 feet up! Sandwich Harbour is staggeringly beautiful and so isolated it has a sacred stillness to it. This protected RAMSAR site is a wetalnd of international importance. Host to nearly 70, 000 birds each year, including flamingos, pelicans and terns - it is truly one of nature's miracles.
