This impressive mountain may not have the jagged spires of its island brothers and sisters bit is still one formidable Scottish mountain!

A coastal brown bear sow charges through the water attempting to catch a salmon for lunch. She wasn't successful on this attempt. Notice the water in front of its raised leg. It looks like it's been sliced by those formidable claws.

Nothing arty about this, but it does come with the benefit of the sun over the shoulder and from a station, Woking, I was more accustomed to visiting at night to snap the class 73 hauled 10.52pm Waterloo - Southampton, a mail/parcels service with a couple of passenger carriages slung on the back.

 

Whisper it too, but a few times I took that train I was fortunate enough to be sat in the Secondman's seat for the journey from Waterloo to Eastleigh, with camera and tripod at the ready for the extended Woking stop! Enough of those shenanigans though, thanks to The_MkIII_Fan, the train above has been identified as the 1.10pm London Waterloo - Exeter St Davids service (1V13), seen here pulling away from the station.

 

Note the unpainted rectangle on the end of the station awning - this is where the Southern Railways 'Woking' sign (white letters on green background) would have been affixed. It's removal was likely down to non-conformity with British Rail's then country-wide uniform corporate branding. Note too the art-deco style signal box visible above the first carriage. Finally, the 4VEP unit in the platform is sporting headcode 63, which I think might denote a Waterloo - Basingstoke slow service.

 

The comfortable elegance of the Mk2 air-conditioned carriage stock can't be ignored, and it does make you wonder how many passengers today would be prepared to forgo a speedy arrival in Exeter via a hard-seated IET, for a slower but more comfy ride on one of these trains.

This turned out to be one of my final few forays out with the camera for railway photography before I 'retired' for the first time.

Same group of rams I posted a few weeks ago with all of their heads down, grazing. They were so intent on eating, I didn't think they would ever raise their heads all at once. Finally, they did...click. I had never seen a group of rams larger than four until I found this group of nine (Thanks again Gerry). Since this was before the rut, they were all buddies. In fact it was fascinating to watch how close they liked to stay to each other. They reminded me of a school of fish moving in unison and staying practically shoulder to shoulder...or horn to horn.

Last post for a while...hitting the road again to get back to nature.

.. or .. shapes found in Düsseldorf .. happy weekend my friends :)

This mature female Roosevelt Elk gave us a rather stern and formidable stare as we watched her from the deck of our rental cabin in northern California. You can see some bull elk antlers in the background. Though her nearby calf was several months old, she still seemed to be in protective mode.

Fourth in my headshot series.

 

Happy Monday! Here is another view of the frozen Chicago and formidable ice formations found at Burnham Harbor. This was shot as the 3 frame vertical pano. What do you think?

Yesterday I discovered the sad shape of my fitness by overcommitting to a relentless uphill hike to Lake Serene at the base of Mount Index of the Cascade range. The payoff was big, however.

I have wanted to photograph a dragonfly for ages, but the little beggars never seem to stay still long enough....... until yesterday :)

 

Had a beautiful day in the Roe Valley, Limavady, Co. Derry, sun was out and so were all the little bugs.

 

worth viewing large...... thanks for all the lovely comments - I appreciate them so much :)

 

Have a great Tuesday :)

The African Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer), is a large species of eagle found throughout sub-Saharan Africa wherever large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply occur.

This species may resemble the bald eagle in appearance; though related, each species occurs on different continents, with the bald eagle being resident in North America.

The African fish eagle feeds mainly on fish, which it swoops down upon from a perch in a tree, snatching the prey from the water with its large, clawed talons. The eagle then flies back to its perch to eat its catch.

 

This formidable African Fish Eagle was photographed coming in to pluck a fish from the water during a photography safari on an early morning boat ride on Lake Baringo, Kenya.
