Monarch masses
I already almost forgot I had this one. When I went to Mexico I only had two real nature objects I wanted to visit, the Huasteca Potosina, and this wonderful natural phenomenon that you can find in the Reserva de la Biosfera de la Mariposa Monarca (cepanaf.edomex.gob.mx/parque_mariposa_monarca). Millions of Monarch butterflies gather here every year to hibernate. And impressive this was.
They cling in thousands (and many more) to a group of trees at the top of a hill, and when it gets warmer they start to fly.
But it is difficult to get a really nice shot, because there are so many and how to focus on such a group is not easy. I guess this is the best I could do.
The most wonderful experience which can't be shared is that you even can hear them sometimes fly, when a whole group setts of. It is like a wind breeze through the trees. Something I will never forget!
