Photography by Barry Cliver

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 based 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.

In Focus: Great Sand Dunes National Park

Like the sky, nature carves the dunes daily. These dunes are 800 feet tall! This less visited park has the largest dunes in North America with the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop.

Wildlife

I prefer environmental portraits of wildlife and birds to show their habitat. Habitat loss contributes to the current mass extinction. Large animal wildlife of East Africa and Alaskan Bears of The Pacific.

Land and Seascapes

Endless mountains, coastlines, and deserts at the golden hour. The mountain scapes of North America, seascapes of the Adriatic, 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.
