One evening, whilst out for a walk, with my Nikon D3x camera and Nikon 300mm f/4.0 lens attached, I came across this landscape.
Oftentimes, I will take only one fixed focal length lens and look for photographic opportunities that will suit that one particular lens. Of course, I will come across scenes that I'd wished I brought an additional or different lens.
One excellent feature of the Nikon 300mm f/4.0D is the creamy Bokeh that allows a photographer to separate the subject from the background, as in this photo.
I took five photos over the span of two minutes, observing the tree being illuminated by the setting Sun.
I must admit, that I wish I bothered to carry my tripod with me.

One of the puzzling questions the archeologists have been asking during earlier periods of their excavations: Where is the king’s Palace?
Converse to the expectations, the remains of the King’s palaces of such a sprawling ancient metropolis is not as gregarious as one would expect. They are not the ones that standout amid the ruins. Not least because they were built modestly… the kings did live in luxurious palaces. Their elimination owe to two major factors. First, for obvious reasons it’s the palaces that took the brunt of the annihilation during the raids by the invading army. Second, the palaces where built with wooden super superstructure and got eliminated easily in the arson that followed the fall of the capital.
What remains of the erstwhile palaces are at the best grand plinths and ornate foundations. About half a dozen structures remains in the Royal Area are designated as the basement of palaces. A few of them are in the Danaik’s Enclosure area, one opposite to the Mahanavami Dibba , another one believed to be of the queen’s palace inside the Zenana Enclosure and a couple of smaller ones are located near the Octagonal Bath.
Most of these have one thing in common, the style of the bases. Typically the basements of palaces are multi-cornered multi-layered with elephant balustrades at the entrance.

Some trees just stand out - this one barely surviving and covered in moss and then a layer of snow did to me yesterday while wandering along the shores of the Koksilah River - Vancouver Island, BC

The best skylines in the world have iconic buildings that make them instantly recognizable. New York is obviously one of the best, and the skyline has no shortage of standout landmarks. At the time of its completion, the Chrysler Building was the tallest in the world, but it held that title for less than a year until April of 1931 when the Empire State Building opened and took the position of worlds tallest.
A lovely pheasant in a place where hiding wasn't really an option as I drove by this field. Backed the car up and took the shot out the window and ended up with a pretty cool photo.

Queen Anne's Lace. I know it's a weed... but damn it's pretty.... caught it here in the late day sunshine.

I spent the day yesterday with a friend of mine looking for some wildlife at Assateague Island. The main goal was to find one of the Snowy Owls. I'm not going to share the story of how we did end up finding the owl just yet, instead I wanted to share this shot that I got when we left Assateague and went to the Ocean City Inlet nearby to try and find some Harlequin Ducks. We ended up seeing 3 or 4 and while there, it began snowing. The ducks decided this was a great time to hop out of the water and preen a bit on the moss covered rocks. I did my best to find a nice low spot to try and get some shots of them. Despite the distance I LOVE how this turned out. Harlequin Ducks may be some of the prettiest ducks I've seen, and their range of colors really makes them standout against the green mossy backdrop. The snow falling around them was just the icing on the cake.
