Next was the rafflesiana, in the deeper forest. First plant encountered was when i saw its giant silouhuette, about 1m +/- high, ran over and saw this giant trap on the floor.

Hello North,

very nice pictures! Neps look most impressive in nature! You also have some very interesting abstract paintings between your photos....reminding me somehow on the artworks of Gerhard Richter --> http://www.treffpunk...ig_788_Bach.jpg // Or maybe this one: http://www.ludorff.c...540x315_q80.jpg //

Burbidgeae and 'Raff' are great!

Perhaps there is a possibility to "repair" the distorted images and post them again or insert them via flickr like you did in the second post? Would like to see them how they really look.

Kind reagrds

Andreas
