Foggy sunrise near Corfe Castle. having been to Corfe Castle the day before to shoot www.flickr.com/photos/184798091@N07/52007136724/in/datepo... I returned the next day hoping for some better light. I went to the exact same shooting location as before but found the Castle fogbound so started hunting for alternatives and from a field entrance nearby shot this one looking towards the coast. I loved the combination of colour and mist.
Thanks for viewing.

These are more pollard willows whose trunk has been shortened as a young tree at a height of approximately 1 to 3 meters and whose branches are cut regularly.
Since branches of willows were often used as piles for the construction of fences, new plants emerged from these piles due to the enormous regenerative capacity of the willows. For this reason, pollard willows often occur (e.g. in the Lower Rhine area) in a row.
Today, there is now economic use of willows, as industrial substitute products have been established. This is why pollard willows are no longer cultivated nowadays.
I put out a bird feeder with sunflower hearts in the morning, and take it down in the afternoon (to keep the rats away). This morning, before putting out the feeder, I saw this Cooper's hawk in a nearby tree. My intent is to feed the seed to the small birds in our neighborhood, not to feed the small birds to the hawks (though this has happened occasionally). So I postponed the birdseed, and took out my camera instead.
The Blades Aerobatic display team is known for their extreme close formation flying, their aircraft often flying only 5 feet apart! In this photograph they look even closer
High g manoeuvres subject pilots to gravitational or ‘g forces’ of up to +6 g and -4g. Precision flight under such conditions underlines the extreme skill and professionalism of these pilots, reaching speeds of 200 miles per hour
