Reflections from the 2016 Snowmass balloon festival.

I'm starting another big project so I apologize in advance for not keeping up with my contacts....I really do appreciate all the comments/invites and support!

These men are some of the finest pilots in the world. However, there are always extreme risks with anything that requires such precision and accuracy and where milliseconds matter.

Sadly, Capt Jeff Koss the pilot of #6 died in a tragic training accident Jun 2, 2016 in Nashville, TN less than 2 months after we witnessed this show. Our prayers are with the families of all who are affected by the loss of this fine and courageous pilot.

 

There is now a memorial in Syrna, TN in the honor of Captain Jeff Koss

Explore Dec 7/ 07 Mute Swans, landing, early morning light. They actually run across the water as they land which differs from most that ski across the water until they stop. Larger is better www.pbase.com/woody/image/89992210/original.jpg IMG_2186

Although the last weeks offered quite poor conditions for hiking and photography at least one day of the weekends provided a little bit of sunshine. Costedt, Ostwestfalen, Germany

A Northern Gannet just landing in the breeding colony. He has to be very careful not to land too close to the other gannets. Otherwhile he will get some trouble. I always wonder how they could find their chicks or partners in the crowd..

Hooded Vulture Necrosyrtes monachus

 

The Hooded Vulture is an Old World vulture in the order Accipitriformes, which also includes eagles, kites, buzzards and hawks. It is the only member of the genus Necrosyrtes, which is sister to the larger Gyps genus, both of which are a part of the Aegypiinae subfamily of Old World vultures. It is native to sub-Saharan Africa, where it has a widespread distribution with populations in southern, East and West Africa.

I purposely left the gannets in the right hand corner in the photo. Every inch of space is at a premium at this nesting site. It takes much precision to find a small space in which to land.

For Roofer and Knut....men of the soil.....

A patient ambush predator, the ‘auku’u, or black-crowned night heron, motionlessly anticipates the perfect moment for a precision strike then catches a fresh cichlid. The nictitating membrane that protects the eye during the strike and prey handling is still retracting as the bird swallows the fish head first. The ‘auku’u is a well-adapted to a variety of aquatic habitats, from protected upland watersheds to urban drainage channels to ocean side tide pools. This indigenous sub-species of night heron is generally diurnal in Hawaii. The red eyes are stunningly captivating!

You sing to the sun and to the sky with your song

your voice shells the cereal of the day,

the pines speak with their green tongue:

All the winter birds sing.

 

The sea fills its cellars with footsteps,

of bells, chains and moans,

metal and utensils tinkle,

the wheels of the caravan sound.

 

But only your voice I hear and it goes up

your voice with flight and arrow precision,

lower your voice with the gravity of rain,

your voice scatters lofty swords,

your voice becomes loaded with violets

and then accompanies me through the sky.
