This is a frame that I will be using as a sequence for my next AV video that I am in the precess in doing probably going to be called "Sky High"
Early morning at the Mormon barn. There were just three other people there when I was shooting so I knew the other vehicle had to be theirs. It was a truck with a logo for Antelope Canyons on it. I noticed these gentlemen were Native Americans so I struck up a conversation with them as I LOVE Antelope Canyon. They had a U-Haul van attached to their truck. Turned out they were on their way to Standing Rock to deliver a load of donations. I was so excited as I really believe in their cause. Had a nice visit and prayers that this situation will come out right. They are standing up for all our rights to clean water and sacred land.

I approached this turtle at the lakeside after one of them jumped into the lake pretty soon. At first, it looked a bit scared by withdrawing its head into the protective shell. Assuring it that I was a good person, I showed it one of the turtle photos I shot the previous day. (I think I encountered this turtle for two consecutive days.) To my great delight, it stretched out its head and looked at the photo. Then it PROUDLY presented its best pose for me to photograph. What a marvelous moment! What a smart, handsome turtle!

While driving out of the Kaeng Krachan National Park I encountered a troupe of stump-tailed macaques alongside of the road. I quickly exited the vehicle and took this picture of the alpha male. Before I could reduce my focal length he had quickly slipped into the jungle.
Wikipedia: The stump-tailed macaque (Macaca arctoides), also called the bear macaque, is a species of macaque native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. In India, it occurs south of the Brahmaputra River, in the northeastern part of the country.
This Old World monkey travels quadrupedally, usually on the ground, as it is not very agile in trees. It is generally found in evergreen tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, at different elevations depending on the amount of rainfall in the area.
Conservations status: Vulnerable
Ich mag diese zufälligen Begegnungen. Du fährst mit dem Auto durch das Gebirge, das Licht wechselt von hoch stehender Sonne zur tiefstehenden Sonne am Abend.
Es wird leicht diesig, die Schatten werden länger, die Landschaft diffuser.
Und plötzlich begegnet Dir ein Motiv nach dem anderen. Aber eigentlich hast Du das erwartet:).

I like these accidental encounters. You are driving your car through the mountains, the light changes from high standing sun to low standing sun in the evening. It becomes slightly hazy, the shadows become longer, the landscape more diffuse. And suddenly you encounter one subject after the other.

This image with colorful effects reminds me some scenes from the movie "Close encounter of third kind". In the center I can imagine the landing strip for spaceships... :)))

My dear Flickr friends,
Sorry for my absence these last weeks. I have been quite busy getting my own business (www.esthersfotografie.nl) of the ground.
This shot of the fox was an unexpected encounter. I was looking for foxes together with a colleague of mine. However we did not see them. We decided to look for other subjects to photograph and saw some grasshoppers. While we were taking photos of these beautiful small insects, I suddenly saw something moving at my leftside. As I looked up, I saw a fox at only one meter away. I softly said to my colleague not to be scared and I turned my camera immediately towards the fox which was apparantly very curious of what we were doing squatting in the long grass. And I was just thrilled to have my 50mm lens ready when needed.
The fox may have also been wondering why he was not the subject to be photographed. Anyway, the fox appeared very sudden, but also disappeared like winking.
Each jagged fight, an open door,
Close encounters of the best kind,
now born again, I died...once more.

There was a light rolling fog this morning which made its magic so I definitely did not want to crop. PLEASE ENLARGE to see how clear the extender picks up everything.
I have been taking a Wildlife Photography course this week where the instructor discussed using his Extender, so..... I went out early this morning to practice using the extender and was blessed with fog and herons disagreeing. Using an extender IS NOT for the faint of heart. Actually I missed some of the shots of this encounter because I was using a tripod and did not have time to zoom my lens back in to get the action.😣
If a UFO takes you off planet earth in 2021, is it kidnapping or ransom?

A Chance Encounter..
Peaches.. The smell of peaches captured my attention..
It was unusual for such a crisp autumn day
Looking up from my usual coffee and paper morning routine to find its source..
I saw her.. she was young.. yet elegantly dressed with a sophisticated presence..
She was struggling with a huge great Dane.. which gave me a chuckle as he did not want to walk any further and he was clearly winning the argument.
She sat down and ordered ..I glanced back at my paper, but something about her demanded my attention..
A slight breeze blew by as she tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ears..
I grabbed my sketch book and tried to capture her in that moment..
I began to wonder.. let my mind drift and a story began to form.. surprising myself as many months had past without any.
Words.. began to flow it was difficult to keep up with..
I look up.. she had gone.. small sense of disappointment flashed across my mind.. but smiling knowing the story had just begun.
