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.

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... :)))
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.
Each jagged fight, an open door,
Close encounters of the best kind,
now born again, I died...once more.
Close encounters of the best kind,
