His Royal Foxness, the curious (In Explore 28-12-2025)
In the beginning of August, while I was driving around Straumoya, I saw something orange in my peripheral vision. But I paid attention to the road and drove a bit further.
When I looked to the left again, I realized a fox was lying there, and a second later, that it must be a cub. It was lying there, basking in the sun!
I quickly ran to the back to grab my camera, and when I came back, it was still there, "thankfully."
But my camera wouldn't focus. "Damn, I hope it's not broken."
After a few more failed attempts, it finally clicked.
My autofocus was set to 10 meters and further, "Smart guy me!" After a few shots, I got out of my camper to take a closer shot. "I hope it doesn't run away."
"It's not running away at all, it's coming closer," so close that I have to zoom out to keep it in the frame.
He sits down, leisurely and curious, staring at me. He has certainly never seen such an old sock like me before!
When I look at this image now I still feel the marvel of this wonderful encounter and the joy of seeing such a curious little animal that didn't show any anxiety at that moment.
