i really like the way that bridge looks at night. During the day it is pretty painful to look at...
Shot on a 500mm lens. The full moon is actually tomorrow but I'll be traveling and won't have this silly large lens with me. So this will have to do.
Weighing up to 75 kilograms, the snow leopard can be distinguished from other similar species by its proportionately longer tail, which helps it maintain its balance on the rugged terrain and unstable surfaces of its habitat. The snow leopard's tail also doubles as a warmth cover and is used to cover its nose and mouth in very cold conditions. The male's head is usually much squarer and wider than that of the female. Its big furry feet act as snowshoes, like those of the lynx. In summer, snow leopards usually live above the tree-line on mountainous meadows and in rocky regions at an altitude of up to 6000 m. In winter, they come down into the forests at an altitude of about 2000 m. They lead largely solitary lives, although mothers can rear cubs for extended periods of time in cave dens in the mountains.
Snow leopards have grey-and-white fur with numerous rosettes on the flanks and spots on the head and neck, similar to jaguars. Their tails are striped. They are opportunistic feeders, eating whatever meat they can find; they often kill animals three times their size, including domestic livestock. Snow leopards ambush prey from above when possible, as they can jump as far as 15 meters. Their agility often proves helpful when ambushing prey and traversing through mountains. Their diet consists of ibex, bharal, markhor, urial, boars, as well as marmots and other small rodents.

My friend Cody has his own clothing company called Cold Rush based outside of Atlanta, and wanted to do a shoot to promote his company. If you live around the area and want to purchase a shirt you can contact him via Facebook.
Furzton Lake, MK, on a cold January morning. There are lots of gulls at the moment and I like the combination of red and orange here...
Margaret Creek in the Stulu logging area of southern BC. Easy to find, so if you know, keep the site tidy!
It was a cold morning... :-)
Please do not use any any of these photos without my permission. If you want to use any of them please write to me. Thank you.
more from these 3, a theme this winter. Why couldn't the Omega Red story be used for Wolverine Origins instead of the horrible Weapon 11 one
The Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) is a large wading bird in the heron family Ardeidae, common near the shores of open water and in wetlands over most of North America and Central America as well as the Caribbean and the Galápagos Islands.
A less than stellat weather afternoon in the everglasdes... it was quite chilly, and this"blue" was fluffing to stay warm, and doing some serious preening. The inclusion of hf the natural habitat, vs a clean fine art image are night and day apart!! I personally like both concepts, however something about the classic everglades pose, and surroundings.. keep one looking for the "Shot"!! Please click on the frame, to darken the bkg....
Cold Film Mood ...
Sometimes all you need to do is to wait until you come across something, things just happen and align nicely.
I shot a roll of Ilforn XP2 again, after a long while. I used it on the rather low and dull light, often present, when I was on the trip. I was not alone, so, there are always times you got to wait and usually your not in the mood or at the place you want to be to make photos. But I shot what caught my eye. (And yes, this is a Buddhist Tibetian Monastery).
If you scan XP2 you have the choice: treat it like CN film or b/w? I scanned it like color film and was a bit confused to get a duo-tone color rather than a single tint. It could be a fault of the scanner or my settings, but I found that quite interesting, this is really near to the kind of split toning I look for, often. All there more or less „random“ factors add up to frames, that I tend to like, really.
