Welcome to Savana Photo Gallery, my online gallery of wildlife, landscape, and architecture photography. Living in Alaska inspired me to pursue outdoor photography. Alaska is so vast and wild that it begs you to explore and photograph. Thrilled with my experiences in Alaska, I traveled to other locations to photograph wildlife and landscapes. I am located in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Savana is a word borrowed from Swahili, the language spoken widely in East Africa. All photographs taken by Barry Cliver. Website designed and built by Barry. Email me at bc@savanaphotogallery.com Please know your email will be kept private and not shared.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. - Bertrand Russell
In Focus: Acadia National Park
Morning twilight brightens Frenchman's Bay, just outside Acadia National Park. My favorite eastern national park offers a scenic granite coastline, thick forests, boulder-strewn mountains, wildlife and carriage roads. From owls to otters, you can see it (or hear it) in Acadia. Kayakers, hikers, cyclists, climbers, and bird watchers can enjoy thousands of acres of woods and waters. Start early. Sunrise comes before 5 a.m.
Wildlife
I prefer environmental portraits of wildlife to show their habitat. Habitat loss contributes to the current mass extinction. Large animal wildlife of East Africa and Alaskan Bears of The Pacific. All photos taken in the wild, not in zoos or enclosures.
Land and Seascapes
Endless mountains, coastlines, and deserts at the golden hour. The mountains and deserts of North America, seascapes of England, Adriatic and Baltic, and the brilliant Pacific sunsets of Costa Rica.
Architecture
Celebrating the beauty of architecture from ancient Petra and Greece, Moroccan kasbahs and European castles. Many great structures are in disrepair, threatened by pollution, war, neglect, or overuse.
