This owl flew to get away from me but, surprisingly, looped back and flew right back towards the utility pole near where I was standing. Thus, it apparently forgot what it was doing. It flew right at me until it got very close, realized its error and pealed off, giving me in-close side shots too. I wish that this kind of behaviour were more common.
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!!
Memorial at the Dutch Coast for the old town of Petten, vanished in to sea.
Thank you very much for your kind support and comments!
What’s that I hear you say?
Don’t be so hasty.
I was facing directly South when I captured this.....
And what you see there is the actual South Pole my friends. Real life.
Looking through my powerful monocular I didn’t realise what I was seeing at first, even thinking it may be some kind of mirage.
But when I fully understood what it was and the import of it, I made sure to capture it by the medium of photography in order that y’all may see it for yourselves and know what it looks like.
I drew a line from the South Pole through the point where I was stood, and behold, directly behind me, about the same distance away is another one. I’m guessing that is the North Pole, but can’t be certain as there were trees in the way.
Not many people have seen the actual South Pole because as you can see it is pretty remote.
But there you have it! No mirage this.
You too have now seen it.
You are welcome.
One last thing I should mention -
If you are thinking of going to see it for yourself, pay no heed to all the stories and old wives tales. It was much, much warmer than they make out - all that losing fingers and toes to uncle Jack Frost, sheer rubbish. I didn’t even feel the need for a coat, let alone gloves.
That said, considering I was equidistant between the North and the South poles, it was also a lot, lot colder than it should have been and so you might want to sport a fleece, but leave the factr 8 at home.
Sigh…..climate change I suppose.
Did I say factor 8? Gosh, I’ll have the sun police on me next……
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
Very nicely decorated and there is a British Legion club under 15 minutes walk from here.

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.
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.
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.
For a few months in late 2010/early 2011, I spent at least one morning per week along CSX's Indianapolis line east of the city. On a good day, I could get 3-4 trains. Code line poles and NYC-era signals were still active, but changes were coming. Q007 cruises west at MP 267, sixteen miles from downtown Indianapolis.
Planned for a hard core long exposure today, but found that I had left the remote controller back at home:(
After recommendation from Michael Walsh I have tried to crop out the landscape to give this pole scene a more minimalistic look.
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.
