My images reflect in the enemies eye
And his images reflect in mine at the same time
I-ya, I-ya
I against I
Flesh of my flesh
And mind of my mind
Two of a kind but one won't survive
This Osprey made for an enjoyable shoot this morning.
Came home and put on some Bob Seger. “Against the Wind” ... I'm older now but still runnin against the wind :)
The osprey (also called sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk) is a fish-eating bird of prey. It is a large raptor, reaching more than 60 cm (24 in) in length and 180 cm (71 in) across the wings. It is brown on the upper-parts and predominantly greyish on the head and underparts.
The osprey tolerates a wide variety of habitats, nesting in any location near a body of water providing an adequate food supply. It is found on all continents except Antarctica.
Arrived at my 8 AM Tuesday delivery, found a place to park nearby, but after being there for about an hour, a security guard told me I couldn't stay there.
Before he showed up I did spend some time taking pictures. Not a big deal, we have a drop yard in Pacific, about 13 miles away, so I went there. Unfortunately, it will take about an hour to get back to the receiver during rush hours traffic.
Oh, about this shot, these are some landscape trees planted next to the building in the industry complex I'll be returning to tomorrow morning.
Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind

The little reed, bending to the force of the wind, soon stood upright again when the storm had passed over. Aesop

This is not my usual style of photography at all ... but I hope you all enjoy it just the same. Before anyone asks, the hair is by Tableau Vivant.
And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh-so-tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin' against the wind

It was quite a stormy day and the tugs had to struggle to push the empty bulker against the wind to its berth respectively to keep it away from the opposite side of the basin, as can be seen in the picture.

Against the shadows on a lone branch, a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher is perched. Photographed in relatively low light, I was able to catch this small bird before it flew off.

You know those shots you get that you just love even though everything about them is not good in technical terms? This is one of those. It was dense fog, heavy clouds, starting to snow, I had my oldest camera with me, and there was this eagle flying against the wind as he circled in for a landing. I was captivated. I love to look at him in times of trouble ... he gives me strengh.
Colorado, USA
Thank you ...
...really against a harsh hot environment. When one sees the vast dry White Sands Park one really sees the scale and strange environment that a flower can even grow. Yes I laid down to get image - soft for a change but then found sand everywhere, Had to be extra careful changing lens here.

Piranga rubra
(Summer tanager / Piranga abejera)
The only completely red bird in North America, the strawberry-colored male Summer Tanager is an eye-catching sight against the green leaves of the forest canopy. The mustard-yellow female is harder to spot, though both sexes have a very distinctive chuckling call note. Fairly common during the summer, these birds migrate as far as the middle of South America each winter.

Wikipedia: Graphium sarpedon, the common bluebottle or blue triangle in Australia, is a species of swallowtail butterfly that is found in South and Southeast Asia, as well as eastern Australia. There are approximately sixteen subspecies with differing geographical distributions.
Graphium nomius, the spot swordtail, is a butterfly found in South and Southeast Asia that belongs to the swallowtail family.
One of the grandest sights is a host of spot swordtails mud-puddling or swarming around a flowering forest tree.
sorry everyone for re-posting the photo but I just happen to like the monochrome edit much better than the earlier color version (which will be removed presently)
The Zagreb Funicular connects the city's Lower Town with the historic Upper Town. Its 66-metre (217 ft) track makes it one of the shortest public-transport funiculars in the world. The funicular was built in 1890 and has been in operation since April 23, 1893. Initially it had steam engines, which were substituted with electrical engines in 1934.
The funicular runs on a 1,200 mm (3 ft 11 1⁄4 in) gauge track, track length is only 66 m (217 ft), but height difference is 30.5 m (100 ft) and inclination 52%. This makes it one of the shortest, but also one of the steepest funiculars in the world. It runs at a speed of 1.5 m/s (4.9 ft/s), needing 55 seconds to cross the distance. (from Wikipedia)
