I'm still having fun sifting through old images...
This is a Kea, the world's only mountain parrot. They are fantastic birds, native to New Zealand and highly intelligent.
And VERY VERY naughty!
They have been known to destroy tents, backpacks, are attracted (addicted?) to anything shiny and have even damaged motor vehicles. I was camped in the Southern Alps and this Kea would come within a metre of me exploring. The stove was still hot so there was only one peck and then he left it alone but during the previous night this guy and his mates managed to shred the bottom of my sleeping bag as well as destroying my sleeping mat...
But I love them :)
Cheers Jack

It was interesting to watch these learner Scuba divers in the shallows of the clear blue waters off the Portsea Pier. The beach behind is the opposite side of the pier, closer to the eastern part of the curve that leads to the Heads. Portsea has a large number of wealthy inhabitants and a lovely Portsea Hotel that overlooks the pier and the yachts moored nearby.

It may be a crazy thing to teach your girlfriend to drive your ATV, especially without helmets! Oquirrh Mountains, Salt Lake County, Utah. For the Smile on Saturday group. Topic: Crazy Couples.
We enjoyed watching this young fellow learning to control this gondola. Lots of laughs from his companions and us.
After our Dolomites hike last September, we spent four nights in Venice, staying in the Cannaregio area. Exploring the streets of Cannaregio on our first day in Venice. A guessimate of the location.

Carrying on the theme of ex-works class 931 departmental vehicles, this is Route Learning vehicle 931001 (formerly class 416 unit 6232) at Clapham Junction on 15th September 1993. Bearing a fresh coat of Network South East livery it was being used on the route to and from Kensington Olympia. For the record, that's 56059, possibly heading light to Stewart's Lane depot. The unit had four windows at one end and three at the other. This unit was withdrawn from service in 2002 and scrapped at Immingham in February 2004.

What you will see here is a newly born Orang Utan Baby.
It was difficult to catch the baby with the mother.
She hides her young one very impressive all the time! :-)))
Pls excuse me: this pic isn´t at a 100% sharpness level... ;-))

Blue liveried Class 37 No 37612 works away from Retford with the 09.20 Doncaster West Yard - Doncaster West Yard (via Worksop, Retford and Hatfield & Stainforth).
I'm assuming this was a route learner, but could be wrong.
Standing in for fellow Locomotive Services Limited stablemate, 712 (which had suffered a technical failure in the morning) Class 47, 47501 / D1944 "Craftsman" powers through Hartford running in a revised 0Z47 path on its way North to Cumbria and Scotland.
The BR Green Type 4 was due to spend the rest of the week on route learners/refreshers, running first to Carlisle, then to Inverness, then to Carlisle again, prior to a trip to Perth and back (via Fife) before finally returning to Crewe.
It's me that's the slow learner -- not the fly.
Did everyone else know that you could rest the rim of the macro lens on the surface where the insect is? It helps to steady the shot, and seems to focus ok.

For the learners out there…
There was a high overcast that was becoming ragged. You can see some weak sunshine in the upper-right corner. The rest of the picture is in open shade. I chose F22 just to lengthen the exposure (shutter speed) and make the water appear silky. I used a polarizer to knock down the shine on the leaves and make the still portions of the water darker. (People that have never used a polarizer on Fall leaves are missing out. It really cuts the glare off the leaves and lets their colors show through.) I worked this spot for about 30 minutes, trying various compositions, exposures and shutter speeds (a lot of blur in the water or a little?), waiting for the wind to die off and the light to change. When you’re in a “target-rich environment” like this, it’s hard to know how long to stay and when to move on. But that is entirely up to you.

This juvenile Black Skimmer joined in to the attack. This is full frame and uncropped. I did cut the wing tips off, but it's so hard to get them when they are flying right out you.

Not a bad way to learn to fly is it?
