Today was an incredibly beautiful winter day in Oregon.
We spent the day driving over the Oregon Coastal Range to spend the day in Tillamook, playing on the beach with our doggies.
On the way to the ocean, we must have seen at least a dozen Red-tailed Hawks in trees, on power poles, on road signs, and flying around the fields. We also saw a few Bald Eagles, but the Hawks easily outnumbered the Eagles on this beautiful day.
This particular Hawk was quite a big boy (or girl, as I don't know how to sex these birdies). In comparison, a few minutes earlier, an adult Cooper's Hawk flew out of this same tree and it looked like a small babe in comparison to this large Red-tailed Hawk. Both were beautiful birds.
What a wonderful day for raptor watching!
I have spent a few days away from Cornwall with fellow photographer Max Thompson. We were in London for a couple of days and managed to get out to Richmond Park and send some time photographing the Red Deer amongst the autumnal colours - although the rut has more or less ended, a few stags were still sparring away. Plenty of images to come.
The escalators at Sundbyberg's subway station does look quite dramatic, especially given proper HDR treatment. My evening ended here quite randomly but I had to take the photo while waiting for my train.

A Red Shoulder Hawk on a stick! It doesn't matter what the weather is, nothing deterrs a hungry hawk from hunting. Storm clouds are in the backround and a ray of light is highlighting his head while thunder is clapping in the distance.
A small, tidy farm with a re-sided gambrel barn. The house on the hill just east, to the right, of it looked very old; a sprawling, white two-story with unusual roof lines.
This beautiful red butterfly (I'm not sure what kind it is) is at the butterfly exhibit at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum in Washington, DC.
a red Dahlia during a raining day.
This photo was done just before the rain, but because of the Wind I had to use a fast shutter speed.
I like a lot the fact that there are only 2 colors on the photos : green and red

The Karlsson family posing on the porch of their new red cottage home in Hallsberg (Örebro County, Central Sweden) in 1913. My restoration and digital hand colorization of Samuel Lindskog´s image in the Örebro County Museum archive. (We only know the first name of the husband, Samuel.)
The red paint -. called the Falu red - is produced as a by-product of the Falun copper mine.
"The original red paint—bright, and almost luminescent in the afternoon sunlight—was already popular, due in part to the whimsies of the rich and royal during an architectural period known as the Brick Renaissance. Even though it wasn’t commercially manufactured until 1764, it was used as early as the 16th century. “The king of Sweden in the 1570s ordered that the castle in Stockholm and in Turku, Finland be painted red from material from the mine here,” says Nybelius. Back then, the grand Gothic brick buildings of the Netherlands were especially popular among northern European nobility. “When Sweden was a great power, we wanted our buildings to look like the bricks in Holland. But we have a lot of wood, so they just painted it to look like brick,” explains Anna Blomster, a PhD in Scandinavian studies from UCLA who wrote her thesis on Swedish red cottages. It was thus that red became a symbol of Swedish royalty, and, ironically, a nod to the pomp and grandeur of faraway kingdoms.
It was only in the early 1900s that the red paint became recognized as the archetype of Swedish country life. “We had a bad housing situation and had very high rents,” says Blomster. There was a shift to the countryside from the cities, due to a national recession that caused mass unemployment and evictions. By 1900, the rents in Stockholm were the highest in Europe. In 1904, a bill was passed to provide loans for people to build their own houses in the country. “If you were working class and sober, you could get financial aid to build your own house,” she says. “Somewhere in this process they started to talk about the red paint as the Swedish color and started to connect it to Swedishness.” In short, if you had a home and didn’t know what color to paint it, red was the recommended hue.
From then on out, the red cottage in the country has become an irreversible part of the Swedish identity—a perpetual motif on postcards, in storybooks, and in real estate agent listings. “If you ask a child to paint a house, it’s always painted red. The red house is the heart of Sweden,” says Nybelius."

The Red-winged starling (Onychognathus morio) is native to eastern Africa from Ethiopia to the Cape in South Africa. It prefers cliffs and mountainous areas for nesting, and has moved into cities and towns due to similarity to its original habitat. In this instance, into Stellenbosch, in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
