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.
Three open windows stand out against the wall geometry of a highrise commercial building in Melbourne's CBD. Shot with the EF 70-200mm f/4L USM zoom.

If there was one standout bird from my recent trip to Sax-Zim Bog, it was definitely this male White-winged Crossbill. Crossbills have specially designed bills that help them pry open cones and get to the seeds inside. I have never been this close to one for such a long period of time. I was in awe as my two friends and I watched this bird at eye-level, plucking tamarack cones and ripping them apart, while paying no mind to us whatsoever. It was magical to observe such a unique and beautiful bird so closely, especially since they are generally seen near the tops of tall spruce trees. They also tend to stay in flocks and so I think my friend was right in his assessment that this particular bird seemed to have been separated from his flock. St. Louis County, MN 02/01/22
South Shore Freight train PF10 has finished blocking cars a La Porte, IN, and is underway once again headed for Stillwell and Kingsbury.
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.

A principios de 2004, el técnico holandés Leo Beenhakker, entonces entrenador del América, observó un partido entre las fuerzas básicas y se percató de las habilidades de Ochoa, ingresándose al primer equipo. El 15 de febrero del mismo año en el partido contra el Monterrey, el portero titular, Adolfo RÃos, convaleciente de una operación por hemorroides es sustituido por Ochoa. Debido a esta situación, Ochoa fue titular en los partidos de liga como en los de la Copa Libertadores de América. Su desempeño en la porterÃa le consiguió que el entonces director técnico de la selección mexicana sub-20, Humberto Grondona, lo llamara y nombrara capitán del equipo nacional.2 Finalmente, cuando Adolfo RÃos se retira consigue la titularidad del equipo.
En la siguiente temporada, la selección mexicana no calificó a la Campeonato Mundial Juvenil de la FIFA en Holanda, y el nuevo técnico del Club América, Oscar Ruggeri, que habÃa contratado a los guardametas Sebastián Saja y Ricardo MartÃnez, relegó a Ochoa.1 Pero con la destitución de Ruggeri y la llegada de Mario Carrillo a la dirección técnica, Ochoa regresó a la titularidad.1
El América obtuvo el tÃtulo del torneo Clausura 2005, con una racha de 28 partidos sin derrota entre partidos nacionales e internacionales, destacándose la participación de Ochoa en aquella temporada.3 El 14 de diciembre de 2005, Ochoa integró al equipo principal de la selección nacional en un partido frente a HungrÃa. Y luego de la lesión del guardameta titular Oswaldo Sánchez, se quedó con la titularidad.3
En 2008 fue llamado para jugar con la selección Resto del mundo en un partido amistoso contra Irak celebrado en Milán, Italia, junto a figuras del fútbol mundial como Roberto Carlos Abbondanzieri, Carles Puyol, David Beckham, Alessandro Nesta, Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Raúl González y Javier Zanetti, entre otros.4
Es el único jugador mexicano que aparece incluido en la lista de una revista francesa que premia al mejor jugador del año con el denominado "Balón de Oro" 2007, aunque el galardón no es reconocido por la FIFA, desde 2007 abarca a futbolistas de todo el planeta y que juegan en todos los paÃses. Cabe mencionar que en base a su talento y popularidad,la empresa EA Sports lo incluye, junto a Ronaldinho, en la portada del videojuego multiconsola FIFA 08 y FIFA 09 en su versión para Norteamérica (México y Estados Unidos).

At the age of 18, under Dutch coach Leo Beenhakker, Ochoa made his debut with Club América, during the Clausura 2004 tournament against CF Monterrey. Ochoa quickly showed his skill and potential, and the young goalkeeper who was thrust into the spotlight to replace injured veteran Adolfo Rios soon shared the starting job with Rios after he recovered from his aforementioned injury. When the Apertura 2004 season began, Ochoa was thought to be the heir apparent to RÃos, who had retired. However, new coach Oscar Ruggeri brought new goalkeepers with him, among them Argentine standout Diego Sebastian Saja and veteran Ricardo Martinez. Soon after, Ochoa was benched by Ruggeri. Ruggeri's stay at the club was marred by controversy and unpopular decisions. He was fired after only six games into the season and Ochoa was soon reinstated by new coach Mario Carrillo. Since then, along with club and international teammate José Antonio Castro, he has started every game for Club América barring incidents involving injuries or national team duty. Under Carrillo, Ochoa won his first championship with America following the Clausura 2005 season. He is considered to be the best goalkeeper in Mexico and in the Americas. Fifa has him in position 3 of best goalkeepers in the world. At the age of 20, He was called by Mexico's former coach Ricardo LaVolpe for the 2006 FIFA World Cup as the third choice goalkeeper. After the World Cup new appointed coach Hugo Sánchez has also asked for Guillermo Ochoa's services as the 2nd or sometimes 1st choice goalkeeper for Mexico. Ochoa also participated in the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup and the 2007 Copa America. An undisputed first choice for the national team at the age of only 22 and already an institution at his club, America, Francisco Guillermo Ochoa is widely seen in his native country as one of the best keepers in the world.

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.
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
"It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see."

A lone deciduous tree has changed its foliage colours for the season, while the rest coniferous trees remain stubbornly green.
With its standout Italian styling, British craftsmanship and American V8 power, the Jensen Interceptor had a statement like few other cars. Loved equally by celebrities and TV action men, the glamorous Interceptor has left a lasting impression in our motoring memories.
Launched in 1966, the handsome design by Touring of Milan challenged Aston Martin while the V8 matched American muscle cars for speed. The hand-built, fast-back body is elegant and practical with its signature wrap-around rear screen which lifts like a modern hatchback revealing a large boot. Inside the luxury continued with leather seats, Wilton carpets, electric windows and air conditioning.
By the early 1970s cheaper competitors from Jaguar and the rising fuel costs meant a car consuming 10 mpg was out of step with the era. Jensen ceased production of the Interceptor in 1976, but left behind beautiful, unforgettable cars.
This 1973 Jensen Interceptor Mark III, XBY251M, is on display in the Haynes Motor Museum in Somerset.
