Zone rurale riche de quelque 1200 étangs, centrée à moins de 50 km au nord-est de Lyon, la Dombes doit son caractère original à l’action conjuguée de la nature et de l’homme. Sur ce plateau de 1 000 km² borné par la rivière d’Ain à l’est, le fleuve Rhône au sud, la Saône à l’ouest et la Veyle au nord et relié aux trois premiers cours d’eau cités par des côtières, les processus glaciaires du Riss et du Würm ont en effet déposé une couche argileuse imperméable et acide dont les moines aménageurs ont tiré parti en créant au Moyen-âge des étangs alternativement voués à la pisciculture en période d’évolage et à la céréaliculture en période d’assec.
Ces étangs, couvrant près de 12 000ha, sont plus nombreux en Dombes centrale où ils s’inscrivent dans un paysage bocager, maillé par un réseau routier permettant l’observation aisée mais discrète de ce milieu semi-naturel.

Juvenile bald eagle came in extremely close while heading towards the riverbank and trees for a safe perch.
Ich konnte es nicht glauben,mehrfach sprang er über das Eis und rutschte ordentlich hin und her... Das nutzte ich um einige Actionbilder zu machen....

This was more of an experiment than anything. I am only a hobby photographer, my real job is an Engineer for the railroad. The wind was blowing these like crazy and I was seeing if I could freeze the motion and get a somewhat sharp usable image.
I got my mirror today so played with the lights, the bevel on the mirror shows but still a fun play with painting with light, what is the limit what can be done with this, my mind is blown on what these little lights can do. Hobby Lobby LED Balloon lights then make a magic wand. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGQoBJSiYiE&feature=youtu.be one of many videos online for doing this fun.
This was taken from my seat at the Open-Air Theatre in Regent's Park, London when we visited recently. They do a different musical each summer and when we lived in London we would go every year. This year's musical was La Cage Aux Folles, a favourite of ours. We enjoyed it so much. It was adapted as an American film in 1996 called The Birdcage starring, amongst others, the much missed Robin Williams
....on the road as a ghost hunter!
BRUNO: "Beste vriend Peter, bereikt mijn licht jou?"
[Dear friend Peter, does my light reach you?]
Here's one from the summer... I found it surprisingly difficult to photograph a squirrel running... they're so fast! I sat for ages, waiting, with peanuts as bait ;-)
Thanks for all the likes and comments!
This weeks SNS is Michigan Northern Alco 1501 leading a couple sisters along what I'd guess maybe Fife Lake in this unlabeled slide with a processing date of May, 1978, No photographer to credit and no location but a nice view of the days when MIGN was running heavy lumber drags south from the Chief Wawatam connection.
