| Location | Strome Mor, Wester Ross, United Kingdom |
| Introduction | Retired. Was military front line paramedic, private dental surgeon, quality assurance company director. Helped found the Carrifran Wildwood Project, and the Nepal National Maxillofacial Centre. Now back to my first passions - wild flowers, birds, rock climbing, wilderness skiing, kayaks and being alone in wild places. Photography is self taught and for me compelling. Hoping for another 10 years of Himalayan expeditioning. I have 320 photo albums at http://picasaweb.google.com/theopensky and you can also find me on Facebook. |
