A California Sea Lion comes ashore with some elephant seals. Sea lions look pretty big until they are compared to the giants.
Aigle castle, Vaud canton, Switzerland. Hoping to go back there early November so the vineyards in gold colors.
Close to the Bit Bazar and not far from the Roman Forum, Thessaloniki. A junk dealer asleep, among all his things - books, pictures, bric-a-brac, antique stuff, household utensils, second-hand clothing and much more. There are no customers. I wonder what he is dreaming of whilst the world is spinning round and round. Leica M8, Voigtlaender 35/1.4.
Photography is a great uniter of countries, cultures, neighborhoods, families and friends. I’ve started a group named Photo-Phactory. Please share your best images with me.
‘Among the bird world’s most skillful fliers, Cooper’s Hawks are common woodland hawks that tear through cluttered tree canopies in high speed pursuit of other birds. You’re most likely to see one prowling above a forest edge or field using just a few stiff wingbeats followed by a glide. With their smaller lookalike, the Sharp-shinned Hawk, Cooper’s Hawks make for famously tricky identifications. Both species are sometimes unwanted guests at bird feeders, looking for an easy meal (but not one of sunflower seeds).’

Swarovski used to make a lovely range of beads ... and I collected a few of each design I thought might photograph well. These are among my favourites. Called 'brilliants' they create all kinds of colours when the light hits them. These are tiny, about 8mm cubes.

The last third of our walk took us along the dunes from Holkham to Burnham Overy Staithe. As we ventured from east to west the dunes got ever higher and we soon felt like the whole world had closed in on us
Sequoia National Park is the third oldest National Park established on September 25, 1890 after Yellowstone and Yosemite.
These are some enormous living beings that are difficult to grasp and you are often left starring at them for minutes till you soak the hugeness and contemplate what it would be to have one of these in your own backyard! I would love to have one given I have a parking lot as a backyard! Thats my lovely wife giving a sense of perspective to the humongous giants around.
It was cloudy since morning and for brief time sun came out. We were on the Big tree trail and got a few beaming soft rays. My wife was already in her thoughts, couldn't be less interested in my camera and the changing light, but it all worked! :)
