Above: This is the view from my bungalow at Ambua Lodge, perched high above the clouds that envelop the Whagi Valley in the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea. Stepping from your bed early in the morning, you swing open the two double glass doors to let in the cool, crisp mountain air. The waking sounds of birds and the distant calls of the Huli Wigmen deep in the valley below promise an exceptional day of exploring and photography ahead (I’ll post a summary of the tour a bit later as I’ve returned from the assignment with the cold from hell).
