Galleries of Photographs by Louise Heusinkveld
Most of my photographs are taken when I leave home and visit other places. As much as possible I try to avoid the cliche travel images, and look for something that speaks to me about the character of a place or its people.
Since my last update, I have been finding opportunities in Malaysia and Indonesia for photographing birds and some interesting animals, particularly an angry Sumatran Tiger, and Silvery Leaf Monkeys.
In December we went to Borneo, and really enjoyed seeing proboscis monkeys near the Kinabatangan River, and orangutans at two sanctuaries that prepare orphaned babies for eventual release back into the wild. A visit to Australia gave us two very different views of an amazing country. In the west, the modern city of Perth contrasts with the mysterious desert of Nambung National Park. Melbourne is an older, more mellow centre for exploring the wild coastline of the Twelve Apostles, and the gentle landscapes of the Dandenong Ranges.
A spring visit to Victoria, Canada was most enjoyable for garden photography and a perfect day out exploring the extended harbours of the city.
I hope you will visit this site again to see new images as they are ready.
