_________ 1967 Chevrolet Impala 427 ________
The "chance encounter" did not take place in the neighborhood. Actually it took place on a busy street and there were four hot looking 60's cars going south as I was traveling northbound. A quick "U-ie" and peddle to the metal eventually put me right behind the "pack". One car, I think was a 1967 Ford Fairlane Sunliner convertible turned off to the right. I followed the other three cars when they all turned left. This is where they (and little ole me) ended up. There will be more pictures from this "encounter".
My wife and I were staying down at Victor Harbor for a couple of days last June.
This was taken a year ago today so I can't remember much about the shooting conditions. No doubt it was a pretty cold morning due to it being the middle of winter here in Australia.
The red-browed finch (Neochmia temporalis) is an estrildid finch that inhabits the east coast of Australia. This species has also been introduced to French Polynesia. It is commonly found in temperate forest and dry savannah habitats. It may also be found in dry forest and mangrove habitats in tropical region.
The species is distinguished by the bright red stripe above the eye, and bright red rump. The rest of the body is grey, with olive wing coverts and collar. Juveniles do not have red brow marks, and lack olive colouration on the collar and wing coverts. The adults are 11–12 cm long. (Wikipedia)
Red-browed Finches may also be called Red-browed Firetails. Both sexes are similar in appearance. This was my first encounter of this species.
Frankenstein Castle (1252)
There is much historical evidence to suggest that Mary Shelley's world-famous novel "Frankenstein or Modern Prometheus" actually originated at Frankenstein Castle.

Hello dear Flickr friends of my colorful photography. It was a cloudy afternoon on the Lake Constance, the wind warm the water wonderful. A wonderful day for paddling. In the background the hills of Austria and in the background to the left the Austrian mountains to the right the mountains of Switzerland.
I used my hardware glas filters in front of the lens to underline the beautiful atmosphere on the lake.
Happy day my Flickr friends!
Always on tour for you and me! :)))
See you soon.

Chance encounter - A snow covered Batty Moss illuminated by the setting sun sees 61306 LNER B1 'Mayflower' and 35018 Southern Railway Merchant Navy Class 'British India Line' double head the Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express as they cross Ribblehead Viaduct on 2 February 2019.
This was no chance encounter - I'd been after this shot for over 5 years and it requires the perfect combination of factors to bring the scene together. With only a couple of occasions every winter when the timings place the return leg of the steam hauled train crossing Ribblehead at, or close to sunset, the chances of the scene falling into place are very slim.
Early last year, however, everything fell into place for once; with the added bonus of not only a double header, but a snow clad Batty Moss too. A unique scene as both locomotives gently steam their way southbound on the return trip to London from Carlisle with a subtle exhaust emanating from both engines, backlit by the setting sun.

I had the great fortune to photograph this beautiful Bobcat while photographing birds in southwest Ohio. This was incredible encounter as this magnificent cat stayed and posed for over 50 photos!
I took a few photos of what I thought was two turkey vultures. They were pretty far away so I was just taking these to record that I saw them. Once Zi download to the computer I saw that the one bird was an Osprey. It appeared that the vulture was on top of the osprey. It was very windy so any sounds they may have been making went unheard, The osprey flew away first with a fish in its talons, which is shown in this photo, sorry the photo is not very good. I'm baffled, I don't think I've ever seen a vulture interact with any other bird that was alive.
Back in May 2016, I tagged along with Kevin Benedict to visit Boardman Tree Farm in Oregon, with its vast acreage of Poplar trees planted. The symmetric rows are irresistible fodder for photographers. On my first visit back then, however, I'll admit that I was only mildly interested, and my lack of enthusiasm reflected in my decidedly mediocre photographs from that shoot. I'm pretty sure Kevin was slightly annoyed (and rightfully so) that I didn't have the vision to see the possibilities here. Shortly after that visit we learned the news that Boardman land had been sold for a dairy farm and a crop farm. That these immense stands of poplars were being quickly cut down came as sad news.
When a trip to Portland area came up this fall, a return visit to Boardman became a must before all the trees are gone. This time around the leaves were about at peak fall color and the stunning yellow carpet, above and below, quickly stoked my passion for symmetric rows of trees. With ample time to walk around the standard shots gave way to more experimentation. Here I started playing with zooming during a long exposure, and was delighted with the results. It took quite a few tries to find the right balance between the speed and range of zoom. The outcome of this one with its fuzzy lighting from beyond and its rays extending through the trees made me think of a classic alien encounter effect (the product of an active imagination fueled by too much caffeine to keep awake during the long drive). The ground is not quite even here so the horizon line is not precisely horizontal, but natural beauty is not about perfection, so here we are.

This image was taken recently whilst exploring at night Priddy in Somerset.
This was the second visit to Priddy this year and with the moon not being present I would have the best chance of capturing the Milky Way. Light pollution and aircraft would still be an issue but nothing I can do about that.
I decided to try a new composition. This was in attempt to minimize the light pollution on the horizon, headlights from the passing traffic and the red mast. Probably failed at all three as the mast was still visible as too was the light pollution. The headlights from vehicles only becoming an issue from oncoming vehicles as they headed down the hill.
Apart from the issues (which I believe help to better you), I enjoyed the time being able to capture the Milky Way and experience Priddy at night. Even got to hear a load Tawney Owl.
There are two versions of this image which I can't decided which one so I'll probably upload both at some point. This is down to me experimenting with settings during post processing.
This juvenile Kestrel landed only feet away from me, it didn't stick around long when it spotted me, unfortunately I had 840mm on but made the most of what I had.The encounter put a smile on my face for a long time.
The coyote (US /kaɪˈoʊtiː/ or /ˈkaɪ.oʊt/, UK /kɔɪˈjoʊteɪ/, or /kɔɪˈjoʊt/;[a] Canis latrans) is a canid native to North America. It is a smaller, more basal animal than its close relative, the gray wolf,being roughly the North American equivalent to the Old World golden jackal, though it is larger and more predatory in nature. It is listed as "least concern" by the IUCN, on account of its wide distribution and abundance throughout North America, even southwards through Mexico and Central America. It is a highly versatile species, whose range has expanded amidst human environmental modification. This expansion is ongoing, and it may one day reach South America, as shown by the animal's presence beyond the Panama Canal in 2013. As of 2005, 19 subspecies are recognized.
