One of my favorites which shows his attitude and arrogance, or is it elegance? Happy Caturday from JAXson and Obby.
This was a prize winner in it's day about 27 years ago. Entered into a competition about Vancouver, it won, was enlarged, framed and put on display in a storefront on Robson St for 1 month along with the other contenders. Strangely enough, years later we moved to a new Townhouse where my then neighbour recognized the boat in the photo. He said it had belonged to his father and had blown ashore in a hurricane. That is Mt Baker, Washington in the background.
Lots of archival digging these days. This is my friend Austin in Antelope Canyon in Arizona a few years ago. Even though it gets crowded, it's an amazing place
Griffon Vulture adult flight_w_ (Gyps fulvus)-6538
Like other vultures, it is a scavenger, feeding mostly from carcasses of dead animals which it finds by soaring over open areas, often moving in flocks. It establishes nesting colonies in cliffs that are undisturbed by humans while coverage of open areas and availability of dead animals within dozens of kilometres of these cliffs is high. These huge birds grunts and hisses at roosts or when feeding on carrion.
In many cultures around the world, particularly in Western societies, vultures are viewed with disdain. Commonly, people tend to look down on these birds as dirty, ugly, and unhygienic, failing to recognise their importance. People of other cultures, however, hold the vulture in high regard. This is true with the inhabitants of the Tibetan plateau, where vultures are part of traditional funerary customs. In this culture, people are not buried after death as a means of controlling preventable infectious diseases. Instead, the dead are laid to rest in the sky. Monks prepare the bodies of the deceased and set them on platforms to draw the attention of nearby vultures. The vultures discover these human bodies, ingesting them and carrying them off into the sky. Many people view this as one final good deed as the deceased is able to offer something to another living creature before going off to rest in the sky. This practice is not unique to Tibet, however. Historical evidence suggests it has been practiced by cultures around the world for over 11,000 years.
The maximum recorded lifespan of the griffon vulture is 41.4 years for an individual in captivity

I have been in a photography slump this past month with work being busy so I wanted to return to my trip to Cannon Beach, Oregon last June for some inspiration.
Single shot processed in Lightroom for some shadow adjustments.
I can't wait for my trip out to San Diego in February as I am hoping to capture some more beach scenes.
Thank you for looking and please do NOT use my images without my written consent.
