The lonely visitor
I didn’t have to make much of an effort to take this shot. My better half had just left for town for a couple of days, and I was all alone at our country home. It was raining, and I was watching TV, only to a certain extent interested in the opening match in the European football championship. Suddenly I became aware of this elk coming along the path from the forest, only 25 meters from my window. Luckily, I had my camera within reach and took a couple of shots straight through the window glass. Later he moved even closer to me, and I quietly opened the terrace door and got this shot when he was at the edge of the forest, only about 12-14 meters away. He was looking straight at me, but the wind direction was to my advantage and he didn’t run away. He was alone, and I thought of him as a lonely visitor. I watched him for ten minutes or more, while he was grazing and slowly moving into the forest again. Maybe I was the real visitor?
