Not the most common view of Innsbruck old town. A 180 degree panorama at the corner of "golden roof".
Sorry for the absurd distortion, I should have taken some more time to fix this.

Its January in Illinois and -27 with -60 degree wind chills pretty much shut everything down. It wasn’t stopping me from capturing the moment. Hell in a few days its going to be 57 degrees. 80 degree swing in 4 days

On a sunny, warm day in series of similar days, this and many other watersnakes were observed near densites and in water adjacent thereto. This medium-sized snake was found sunning on a slope over a slough, near a walking trail. By the afternoon the wind picked up and many snakes either went back into shelter or began foraging in the nearby bodies of water.

A solution I found for a 180 degree reversal in a 1x3 brick package. I like the symmetry and the fact that there are two studs on each side. I used this in www.flickr.com/photos/96739476@N04/14201282524/in/photost....
This heron was hunting along the water's edge and suddenly turned 180 degrees, having no doubt heard something from behind, and froze facing the grassy edge. Suddenly he lunged, scored, and turned around with the Marsh Rice Rat held around the lower abdomen, obviously alive and fighting. If you zoom in on one of the images in this series, you can see the captured rodent baring its teeth and its body contorted. At first I thought this was a vole, but the tail is much too long, as zooming in this image show the tail with some flatness to it, as is found on the marsh rice rat, muskrats too, but they are much larger. They use this uniquely shaped tail as a rudder when swimming.
The heron took the struggling rodent to the water's edge and submerged it, pinning it to the bottom at which point the heron regripped its prey, as when it came out of the water, the heron's bill gripped the rodent by its head and neck. At that point, the marsh rice rat's legs hung limp and the fight, if there ever really was one, was over. The heron opened its bill and tilting its head back to get the head further back in its bil.. Another quick jerk of the head and the prey is near fully in its mouth, going down its gullet head first.. Finally another gulp or neck thrust and the tasty meal is but a brief lump in its neck. A few seconds later and even that was gone.
I've seen the herons eat snakes and frogs in addition to their standard fare, which is fish and crustaceans, including soft crabs when in season. No fish, it seems, is too large to eat, as I've seen this same heron dine on a five-pound blue fish. It was too much to swallow, so it took it into the seclusion of the brush and slowly tore it to pieces to eat it. They are known to even capture and swallow an adult muskrat. So this was a first, for me, to see one capture and eat a marsh rice rat. And I was fortunate enough to have my camera in hand when it happened.

Dawn on the desert - the 4 degree temps and that heavy westerly wind makes this spot west of Antonito just rather chilly at sunrise as Rio Grande class K36 489 heads west with a flanger / plow train - March 6, 2015.
It was 6 degrees Celsius, with strong cross winds, I waited an hour for the tiniest opening that lasted 30s.....

From todays trip to Bøkeskogen (forest) in Larvik, Norway. The colors were fantastic today. I also met some nice fellow photographers :) A great day in the forest :)

We drove 10+ hours north-east to Weiser, Idaho to see the totality of the solar eclipse. What an experience!
We scouted around for a good place and decided to hang out at the river bed of the Snake River a few miles downstream from Weiser. That spot also had some trees. We could see the moon slip in front of the sun at 10:10am. The surrounding terrain became an eerie place ten minutes before the totality. The temperature dropped. Then at 11:25am it got dark within seconds, quite dark. The totality had begun. Now it was safe to look into the sun without a protective film, and to take off the sun filter from the camera lens. I was super exited, and at the same time very much focused on taking many shots with the new 600 mm long lens.
During totality you get a 360 degrees sunset view. Turn you head away from the sunset, and yup, sunset there too. As you can imagine, the moon casts a huge shadow on earth, so in the far distance you can see the regular daylight.
The totality is a mystical experience, hard to describe. All I can say is that I recommend to put this on your bucket list if you have not experienced one in person. Totally worth a trip.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and slightly adjusted the curves.

2010-11-06 1929-1 Georgetown Community Park - It was a chilly 27 degrees this morning when I got to this location.
This is the White river about one minute after it melts out of Emmons Glacier and on an 85 degree day it was a wonderful sight. The world around you changes right here as you exit the shady hemlock and cedar forest on the right and enter this rocky valley of life and destruction, the coolness is palpable and so is the wind, the rush of water and tumbling rocks, all these things reverberating off your body and mind at once and you know that you are in the mouth of the beast, if it hiccups while you are down there you'd better climb fast. They say that the lahar sounds like a freight train, I'm hoping it's not as fast..... :-)
This stream flows from a cold water spring which stays at a constant 9 degrees celsius year round. The colour is a striking green-blue shade.

Brrr... it has been cold during the last few days. Way below -20°C degrees. This is a different winter, one of those good old ones. The sea covered by a layer of thick ice. Definitely, favorable weather to photograph Bearded Reedlings (Panurus biarmicus) I thought ... and as it had been 3 years since I photographed them for the last time, I was eager, motivated, and all dressed for it... well... got lucky. Happy Days!
I've been able to approach wild egrets with some degree of success, but capturing a cormorant up close and personal has thus far eluded me. Sadly, there's no magic here on my part. This young cormorant was having difficulty swimming when one of the bird-friendly fishers at the lake netted it and brought it to shore.
From what we could tell, the cormorant was caught some time ago in fishing line that had cut deeply into its leg. It looked like someone had used some kind of tape and string to cover the wound. On top of that, a plastic bag had stuck to the tape and the whole mess was wrapped tightly around the cormorant's leg. The fisherman cut away the bag, tape, etc., and then, seeing how bad the leg was and how the bird was struggling to stand, called for wildlife rescue assistance.
I captured this closeup and several other images of it trying to stand and dry off before it was taken away for treatment. No word on the outcome, but from what I saw on scene and in my photos, the bird's leg was clearly infected and its foot had sores all over it. Not good. I hope it survives. It might have to lose that foot. Some birds can adapt to having one foot. Not sure these can since they have to be able to swim and dive underwater as well as stand and dry their feathers. If I hear anything more about this little one, I'll post it here.
