Description
Serpent d'océan est une sculpture monumentale en aluminium, longue au total de 130 m. Elle représente le squelette d'un immense serpent de mer imaginaire, dont les vertèbres ondulent pour se terminer par une gueule ouverte.
L'œuvre est installée à la pointe du Nez-de-Chien, à Mindin, sur le territoire de la commune de Saint-Brevin-les-Pins en Loire-Atlantique, à la limite où l'estuaire de la Loire rejoint l'océan Atlantique. Elle s'étale sur la zone d'estran : la queue du monstre est située à la limite des marées basse, sa tête à la limite des marées haute. La sculpture est donc recouverte et découverte à chaque marée : si à marée basse il est possible d'en faire le tour à pied, seuls la tête et le haut des vertèbres dépassent à marée haute. Elle est destinée à être envahie peu à peu par la végétation et la faune marine.
La forme du serpent rejoint celle du pont de Saint-Nazaire, visible à proximité ; celle des vertèbres fait écho aux carrelets.
Historique
L'œuvre est réalisée dans le cadre de l'édition 2012 du festival Estuaire et cofinancée par l'Union européenne par l'intérmédiaire du Fonds européen de développement régional. Elle est inaugurée le 20 juin 2012.

Not entirely sure why i like this shot... think it takes me back to times of flying over cloud covered mountains on my way to some adventure somewhere.
Anycheese, another little dip for the 10-22. I advise you not to buy my lens when it appears on Ebay some time in the future.
C'est en me promenant sur l'île de Hovedøya que j'ai aperçu ce morceau de tuyau en ciment, recouvert de mousse et resemblant à un gigantesque serpent glissant dans les sous-bois.
I was walking around on Hovedøya island when I saw this piece of a cement pipeline covered with moss, strangely resembling a huge snake sliding in the woods.

The Crested Serpent Eagle (Spilornis cheela) is a medium-sized bird of prey that is found in forested habitats across tropical Asia. Within its widespread range, there are considerable variations and some authorities prefer to treat several of its subspecies as completely separate species.
In the past, several species including the Philippine Serpent Eagle (S. holospila), Andaman Serpent Eagle (S. elgini) and South Nicobar Serpent Eagle (S. klossi) were treated as subspecies of the Crested Serpent Eagle. All members within the species complex have a large looking head with long feathers on the back of the head giving them a maned and crested appearance. The face is bare and yellow joining up with the ceres while the powerful feet are unfeathered and heavily scaled. They fly over the forest canopy on broad wings and tail have wide white and black bars. They call often with a loud, piercing and familiar three or two-note call. They often feed on snakes, giving them their name and are placed along with the Circaetus snake-eagles in the subfamily Circaetinae.

Crested Crested Serpent Eagle can be mainly found in countries such as India and Srilanka. This eagle come to Indian Subcontinent for breeding purposes. In the mating season, this bird can be found singly, in open woodlands with higher tree density which will be a shining opportunity for bird photographers. According to my experience this bird is not a shy bird, Not a one always trying to hide in the fear.
The crested hawk-eagle (Nisaetus cirrhatus) is a bird of prey species of the family Accipitridae. It was formerly placed in the genus Spizaetus, but studies pointed to the group being paraphyletic resulting in the Old World members being placed in Nisaetus (Hodgson, 1836) and separated from the New World species
Crested Serpent Eagle breed in the Indian subcontinent, mainly in India and Sri Lanka, and from the southeast rim of the Himalaya across Southeast Asia to Indonesia and the Philippines. This is a bird occurring singly (outside mating season) in open woodland, although island forms prefer a higher tree density. It builds a stick nest in a tree and lays a single egg.

As breakfast unfolded on the 3rd consecutive week of clear skies, Marianne and I thought it was a safe bet that there would be no clouds in the sky. While having breakfast, she gasped and pointed out the window. As we finished up , I bolted out and drove to the nearest farmland around Colfax and tried to capture some light with anything of foreground interest. Unfortunately, I wonder what this would have looked like from better vantage point lol!
