A very small proportion of the up to quarter of a million starlings taking off at dawn from their overnight roost in the Somerset Levels. Not only is it an amazing sight to see so many birds overhead, the sound they make as all those wings beat the air as they take off is wonderful. Well worth getting up before 6am on a freezing December morning to experience!
My feelings for this photo keep going back and forth, I was caught off-guard by this Killdeer's sudden take off (If my memory serves me, it was to chase off a rival), and I underexposed the image as well as clipped the wings in an awkward spot, making it hard to make it look intentional. Anyways, after deliberately searching for this image on my old computer, I edited it a little (Toned down the highlights and tried to bring light into the shadows) and posted it here.

My first look at Sandhill Cranes was somewhat frustrating as the birds were quite distant and most of the take offs were in very poor light. These two hung around after the flock had departed and while still distant, the light came around nicely.

Conrail C40-8W 6081 was leading train Z413 westward on the B&O's Belt Line in Baltimore in a view taken from North Avenue in 1993.
At the time, Conrail was running over CSX tracks to avoid Amtrak's Northeast Corridor in the wake of the Ricky Gates fiasco.
If I hadn't filled up a card and drained a battery I would have still been out there shooting these adorable Burrowing Owls. This particular shot with all the expressions spoke volumnes to me and I couldn't help laughing when I saw it. I hope you see it too...:)
The Curlew's bill must look like quite a weapon when its length is about half the size of your whole body. Departure clearly the sensible option here.

Sheboygan, a city of 50 churches and 50 bars, celebrated Independence Day of Saturday July 3 rather than Sunday July 4. The reason always given is that the morning parade "would interfere with church attendance". Lori & I sat on a dune next to Lake Michigan and watched the fireworks as they were shot off in the harbor. This was the initial rocket.
03/01/2019; Last year in February, I came up with the idea to shoot the sunset from the roof of NeMo, not realizing I was too late already back then. Late December or early January was when it was about to happen.
By the start of December last year, I kept this idea in mind, but or I was busy with work, or the weather was poor. But on this Thursday in early January, in which I was off from work, the weather was on my side. Patience finally paying off. :)

An old bi-plane takes off from a grass airstrip in the middle of England, against a dramatic sunset sky.
Some people have commented on the fact that the propeller is stationary........
well it COULD be ..........
".... because the young Pilot stalled the engine soon after taking off, and just after the `plane passed over head, it crashed into the Airport Control Tower in a ball of fire............the Pilot and all the Staff survived unhurt....."
