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.
If all beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to man. All things are connected. - Chief Seattle
In Focus: Stockholm Archipelago
Sweden has more islands than any country in the world. Many small islands have lighthouses and navigation aides. After all, Sweden has a strong nautical heritage. Photographed in December.
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 the 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.
