Spent yesterday afternoon on the hunt for Snowy Owls. After a couple hours I was about to call it quits when I happened upon this fine feathered friend sitting up on top of a telelphone pole. She was kind enough to give me a glance while surveying the surrounding area.
Thanks for viewing and have a great day!!

Careening poles are used to expose one side of a boat's hull for cleaning or repair. These careening poles are located at Flinders on Western Port Bay in Victoria, Australia. . . . .Sigma 18 -200mm f3.5 -6.3 DC OS HSM

All a bit grey and misty here today (though I should have known, we had a cracking sunset that I admired through the kitchen window later on, after giving up on seeing any colour) so always like to take pictures of poles in water in these conditions.
A photo filled with lovely light on a dull day. I'm going to miss these beautiful owls, I sure had some amazing encounters with them this year. :)
Cleo's pole dancing days are long over, nowadays she prefers pole hugging, especially if she can enjoy some sunshine while doing that. She looked quite pleased with herself and the world.
A couple of friends asked me for a photo of the information on the obelisk at Pole Hill in Epping Forest. I knew I had a photo of it somewhere.
Converted to monochrome.

Plump, well-camouflaged shorebird that blends into wet meadows and marshes. Dark and heavily marked, with pale buffy stripes on back and face. Extremely long bill used to probe into mud for invertebrates. Similar in shape to American Woodcock but much darker with extensive markings on underparts. Fairly common and widespread throughout North America, wintering to northern South America. Found in muddy wetlands, flooded fields, and marshes, usually singly but sometimes gathering in loose groups. When flushed, listen for rough call note. On breeding grounds, watch and listen for aerial flight display, given day and night: a rapid series of hoot-like noises produced by the outer tail feathers in flight. (eBird)

With its cryptic plumage and preference for grassy muddy areas, these snipe can be very hard to find. I have found, however, that a particular line of fence poles along the road at Carden Alvar are the favourite spot for these birds and most of my best snipe photos come from this location. On this day it was quite windy and he was trying to keep his feathers under control.

The obelisk on Pole Hill has been photographed many ways. In this take on the shot, I've put it almost out of sight and focus in the top of the image.
Watching this magnificent owl hunting from atop a power pole I had the camera in a portrait orientation to try and catch it as it flew to the ground. Instead it flew across the road and right over my vehicle. A horizontal crop from vertical.
The Wooden Pole on the Peak District's Longshaw Estate is said to stand on the site of an ancient pole. You can see the pole itself in the distance in the top right corner of this photo. Although periodically replaced by the National Trust, who now own the land, the original pole is believed to have served as a way marker/guide post on an old packhorse route and may also have marked the boundary between the villages of Hathersage and Holmesfield. Whatever its original purpose, it occupies a commanding position beside the A6187, and yet many visitors to the area drive past without even noticing it. However, its status as a landmark gives the whole area of countryside surrounding it the name Wooden Pole.
