Magician Billy Western Hokkaido – Japans’ north island

Hokkaido – Japans’ north island has always offered photographers a timeless canvas on which to show creative courage

This magnificent old elephant is not only one of the planet’s few remaining big tuskers

This is the son of Kwitonda - a famous silverback who passed away recently and it is this son who is now the Governor on this side of the volcano

This was photographed in a forest under an overcast sky as the stallion was running through the trees

This is true also with birds and this has drawn me towards the American Bald eagle – a magnificent and emblematic creature with an astonishing wingspan of up to seven feet
