We were treated to a very intense Aurora just before Christmas. The lights could be seen from our town and even from Calgary. This is near Water Valley, Alberta.
At the rear of the services on the M6 Toll road. There is a path which climbs a knoll overlooking the service area and where people are encouraged to walk their dogs. As we passed through yesterday there was a digger on the mound putting in the foundation of a new monument to the air ambulance crews. Despite all the noise I took the path and was astonished to see these deer to the rear of the site where the new housing has been built. Although it was wonderful to see it is perhaps another indication of just how far we have encroached on wildlife habitat.
This Osprey did not want a juvenile Bald Eagle in it's territory. This was the first time Bald Eagle has been in the park. They both wanted to claim a pond with fish in it. A picture of the Bald Eagle is next picture to the right.

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 went to the Antarctica just after the big economic crash of 2008 / 2009. It was my goal and an end to a long trip through South America, via bus, overland. Due to the lack of tourist, a group of us negotiated a very good price for this trip. When crossing the Drake Passage, you'll encounter some of the roughest seas on the planet. At one point in the trip a big wave hit the boat and the tables and chairs, which were chained to the wooden floor, broke free and flew across the room. All said, well worth the effort.
The 2.90 m high sculpture "Encounters" by the sculptor couple Brigitte and Martin Matschinsky-Denninghoff was created in 1978/79 and is located at the east entrance to the exhibition center across from the ICC.

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.

Only Red Deer stags have antlers, which start growing in the spring and are shed each year, usually at the end of winter. A soft covering known as velvet helps to protect newly forming antlers in the spring.

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... :)))
Farming under the shadow of a National Monument. Devils Tower in Wyoming has been one of my favorite places to visit for years. Always reminds me of the Steven Spielberg 1977 movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
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.
