The second day on the easing of lockdown, and I took the opportunity to take a trip to Stanage Edge, everybody there was being very sensible, which was good to see, I picked a spot away from everyone and just soaked in the view for a couple of hours, pure bliss.
I'll keep away from the villages and stay out in the open
* It has been four years since I have the opportunity to photograph a Starling murmuration .This was taken from almost the same place I took some shots in 2019 .This year the event took place inland over the Far Inns nature reserve . The images from the murmuration in 2019 were over the River Humber. Impossible to speculate how many Starlings were involved the RSPB site says it can be up to 100,000.
Despite the incredible size of the flocks, starling numbers are just a fraction of what they used to be. The starling population has fallen by more than 80 per cent in recent years, meaning they are now on the critical list of UK birds most at risk.
The decline is believed to be due to the loss of permanent pasture, increased use of farm chemicals and a shortage of food and nesting sites in many parts of the UK.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
One of my favorite photo opportunities, the Finten Chapel, on a cold December morning at dawn.
I thank you my photo friends for your loyalty this year.
For 2019 I wish you the best!
I wish everyone a healthy and peaceful New Year!

Indian Prayer
www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F-gPnyUtKs
Great Spirit, who exists before you are in every person and every thing, we invite you to come from the distant places in our present existence.
Big Spirit of the North, giving wings in the air of water to flow and rain and snow, covering the earth with the crystal carpet over which every sound is beautiful, we stand in front of you.
Fill us with the strength to withstand the snowstorms and help us to thank you for the beauty that springs from the warm earth when it wakes up.
The Great Spirit of the East, the land that rises in the sun, you hold in your right hand the years of our lives and on the left the opportunities of every day.
Prepare us not to reject your gifts, nor to miss the hope of every day and every year.
The Great Spirit of the South, where your warm breath melts the ice around our heart, its aroma speaks from distant springs and summers, dissolved our fears, melted our hatred, burned our love with the flames of truth.
Teach us that whoever is truly powerful is also polite, whoever is wise is also merciful, whoever is brave is also compassionate.
The Great Spirit of the West, the land that the sun is tilting, with the bare mountains and lawns, bless us with the knowledge of peace and freedom. Teach us that the end is more important than the beginning, and that the sun does not reign in vain every day.
The Great Spirit of the Earth, lord of the metals and the stones, guardian of the treasures of the earth, help us to thank you daily for your countless springs that keep us alive and for your untold beauty!
Another visit and opportunity to photograph this wonderful rare visitor.
Thought to be the only Albatross of its kind in the Northern Hemisphere. Normally only found in Southern Oceans.

Sorry to bother you once again with this most-photographed scene on my stream. But once in a while I need to go to this beautiful place to shoot. This time it was really challenging because of many many mosquitos around. So probably this will be the one and only image of that pond this year :-)
Happy Sunday, dear friends!
Preparation met opportunity today. I had cut out these leaves hoping for a beautiful sky, and lucky for me, it all came together. Today is all about carving pumpkins and trick-or-treating. Be well and be safe.
PS - dried leaves don't cut as well as soft, pliable leaves.

Xinjiang, Cina 2015
I made this trip and I'm happy.
Every wildlife photographer, if you have the opportunity to travel should visit this location.
I have only visited the north part of Xinjiang and anyway we have traveled 3500 km.
It was not an easy trip, the temperature rose from 15-20 ° C in the capital and drops to -12 ° C on the borders with Russia and Mangolia.
Sorry for my bad English.
Thank you
Massetti Fabrizio
Xinjiang,Cina 2015.
Ho fatto questo viaggio e ne sono entusiasta.
Ogni fotografo naturalista, se ha la possibilità di viaggiare dovrebbe visitare questa località.
Io ho visitato solamente la parte nord dello Xinjiang e comunque abbiamo viaggiato per 3500 Km.
Non è stato un viaggio facile,la temperatura passa dai 15/20 gradi della capitale e scende a -12 gradi sui confini con la Russia e Mangolia.
Grazie
Fabrizio Massetti
LUCKY OPPORTUNITY to photograph one of these Slim and Savage predators, active by day and night, it relentlessly tracks down its prey by scent. It often kills prey more than twice its size, biting deeply into the neck.
Captured at Elmley Nature Reserve in Kent.
====================
THANK YOU for your visit and friendship. Please leave a comment, and I will try to do the same for your latest posting.
Keep safe and well, God bless

It just struck me that I have photographed this door a couple of times, been by it hundreds of times, seen the changes around the face of the door, but never ever peek beyond the door. I think I am Inspired to do so next time I am there.
... another light painting image. I’ve wanted to try the book thing for a while but haven’t had an opportunity to set the shot up. This week’s theme was perfect and I ended up capturing some hearts in the light too. Happy Valentine’s Day to you all. My second image to be published on the 1x.com website gallery.1x.com/photo/1815412/latest:user:748081
A rare opportunity to ask questions from the team. They look eager to help, don`t they?
(I have no idea if I am allowed to use SL Logo like this? Hopefully someone corrects me if I have broken some rules)
The sparrowhawk is surely one of the UK's most striking raptors.
Unfortunately this male's own strike was far from successful and his chosen prey had long since fled when I took this shot.

Many thanks to all those who take the time to comment on my photos. It is truly appreciated.
This Barn Owl was perched on the post behind the tree making it difficult to get a good angle for a shot, when a brief gust of wind moved the branches allowing me to capture this photo, hence the title.

On Dec. 4, 2016, I had the privilege of participating in a workshop called "Cameras and Dancers" where photographers were paired with dancers for the opportunity to shoot them in a myriad of poses. The location for the shoot was Union Station – a marvelous, historic building and the hub of Los Angeles's metro system.
Seen in this image are Joseph Kudra and Tina Finkelman Berkett of BodyTraffic.
An opportunity to see some Gray-crowned Babblers while I was walking around Lake Fyans in the Halls Gap area.
There were several of them chasing each other from perch to perch - usually in many branches - - so as much fun as they were to watch they never were a great photo op as a grouping.

This is my take on this year's Uncommon Common art installation in Grand Pre, Nova Scotia. It was designed and erected by Nicole Evans and Patrick Farrell.
Explored on September 22nd, 2015. Highest position #148.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Instead of complaining all day and night about restrictions (especially in Germany) we should hold on and follow the rules that are most important to fight the pandemic. Let’s find the best opportunities for meaningful work in these exceptional times. Going through the archives and editing overlooked goodies seems to be a good idea.
This is a new panorama from a series of photos I made in summer 2015 at Capanna Regina Margherita at the summit of Signalkuppe. I merged 5 photos which I had not edited before as I took a lot at this wonderful evening. They were taken at late sunset with the sinking sun right between Dent d' Herens and Matterhorn. We can look from Liskamm left with Montblanc behind over Breithorn, Dent d' Herens, Matterhorn, Dent Blanche, Obergabenhorn, Wellenkuppe and Zinalrothorn up to Dufourspitze and Zumsteinspitze which are quite near here at the right side.
I was working with the Leica M and the Zeiss Distagon 1.4/35 ZM. After development in Lightroom the panorama was merged in Photoshop.
I thought I saw a person working on a farm in the footpath, but in fact it was someone waiting a photo opportunity.😆
農作業中の人がいる、と思ってシャッターを切ったのですが、その人は写真撮影中の人でした😆
I love this angle looking northeast toward downtown St. Paul. This photo took a long wait, as the glaciers probably moved faster than did this manifest trying to make a start down the Mankato Subdivision. This train left Hoffman Yard and slowly worked its way to under the Wabasha Street Bridge then stopped for 10 minutes. The train then moved the distance of two city blocks near Ontario Street then stopped. I figured there had to be opposing traffic or something causing them to be so hesitant. Sure enough, a long manifest was ending its journey on the Mankato Subdivision and coming into St. Paul. Another 30 minutes went by, perhaps to give traffic downtown a break - the first manifest occupied Chestnut Street for 15 minutes. Finally, this westbound finally moved onto the Mankato Subdivision and completed a glorious scene here viewed from the High Bridge. I estimate it took 1 hour and 30 minutes for this to get here from Hoffman Yard - a distance of only three miles away.
Teddy is all about forbidden spaces. We keep him out of bedrooms as he tends to be a little thief, but he never misses an opportunity when presented. We’ve been redecorating a small bedroom and there is absolutely nothing in it of interest to Teddy. But this morning I opened the door for just a second - and got this….Looking seriously pleased with himself. He posed all over the room

Thank you for your visit, faves, invites and kind comments!
Here was me yesterday morning bemoaning my lack of motivation in photography. I posted a photo from June advertising the fact, and a few friendly instapals sympathised in the comments, oh woe is me! Driving back form a dog walk along the coast a spied out of the corner of my eye straw bales on Cleadon hills, maybe a picture there? So I ventured back nearing sunset on the half chance I could make anything of it. When I got there I could see I was losing the clouds big style and at sunset they would be all but vanished. The sun was too strong at the moment I could hardly make out the foreground, so was not too sure about the composition and was iffy on whether to take a photo or not. I took the photo with little enthusiasm on the success and moved on to a less dynamic composition in the light department. So I was surprised to see that this photo had a lot more merit than I gave it credit for and decided to post it.
There was no queue for this shot but normally there would be. I think 2021 will live long in the memory for the year that tourism basically stopped
Conway Scenic’s Notch train crosses Willey Brook as they head back to North Conway. Noticing that year the train only ran to Crawfords on certain days offered opportunities of crossing the bridge not in shadows. Not another soul around until after the train passed. Photo taken Harts Location, NH October 2016
Some doors are meant to be closed , and when you try to reopen them , remember why they were closed in the first place .
On my way to the city centre I noticed that the gate to the back yard of a shop was open with fairy lights sparkling, so I took the opportunity to quickly take a photo of the scene.
I can't resist fairy lights when I have mounted a vintage (or fast) lens onto one of my cameras ; ))

I recently had a wonderful opportunity to spend a few days photographing a few of the beautiful and ethereal cypress swamps in the southern US. This time of year is known for fall colours and for the mist hovering over the water. But nothing ever goes to plan. The day before I arrived, a great storm raged through and took down many of the leaves. And the weather was unseasonably warm, and without the cold air the mist mostly didn't materialize. But it was a magical experience all the same, and I loved the stillness, the sense of gothic mystery and the somber colour palette.
Opportunity knocks. I wish I had a buck for every time I heard someone say: “You ought to start your own restaurant.”

While trying to get some shots of the European Kestrel I came across this interesting situation. Obviously the Common Buzzard just killed -and was feasting on- a bird while this crow (?) was nearby waiting for the left overs. You can almost read the common buzzards thoughts......
I couldn't resist to upload this image as it was so interesting to watch.

Within 15 minutes of driving, biking or walking, I can visit seven first class Bernalillo County, City of Albuquerque or City of Corrales open spaces. Los Poblanos is one of these and is well known to birders with 216 species reported in 2023 on 2,332 checklists in eBird, as of today. It’s a great place for a walking, dog walking, birding and great wildlife photography opportunities. Each year there are also several well-known and attended seasonal events and festivals.
Early Thanksgiving Day morning, out to do a quick check for cranes, geese and waterfowl and I’m not disappointed. I estimate and record over 275 geese, crane, crow and other smaller birds. The migrating Sandhill Crane is the star of the show and a coveted photograph in several world class locations across New Mexico and mostly in the Rio Grande valley.
To see a large amount of well documented information in a very interesting format about the Sandhill Crane (and all migrating birds in the USA) and most importantly their migration patterns visit this great Audubon site: Sandhill Crane - Migration Map | Bird Migration Explorer (audubon.org). It's an eye- opener.
When opportunity knocks, you have to make sure that you have everything just the way it needs to be, nothing left to chance. So when a SD40-2W and BC Rail Dash-9 in red, white, and blue show up, you do everything in your power to make it perfect. With fine tuning done on all of my lights, the execution was all that had to happen. The results are good, and there was a lot less stress wondering if everything was going to be right.
