By chance, while dancing, we all ended up lined up like this, girls and boys apart...but those were cute guys! In this picture it looks like we girls are running to get them, but actually we all danced separated like this for quite a while and had a fun chat :)
Returning with a huge BÄNG!!
After over two years of being out of my Flickrcommunity I decided to drop some fresh bombs since a lot of good stuff happened and came along in these past years.
My personal lightning stroke picture - probably for life. A huge lightning storm surrounded my flat, sothat I was working with three cameras simultaneously. One was pointed on Kiel`s telecommunication tower. Call it jealously pure luck or accept my godlike prediction skills paired with a huge bond with Thor. I was deeply stroked since i didn`t see that one hit the tower directly but as you can see; it did. OOoooow, how it did!!

I noticed that there were many lightning strikes in a certain area and I had my 55-200 lens on because the storm was still far away so I took a chance and zoomed into that same area hoping to get a closer up photo of a strike and I got lucky! :)
A wild and windy day to remember ambling around Ulva Island, drinking in the native wildlife. It was unreal how little the wildlife seemed to care about you so long as you weren’t too noisey and took your time. Stumbling across this Kiwi was a bit of a stroke of luck with it blending in almost perfectly with the underbrush. In fact, two trees knocking together in the high winds turned our attention to an unspectacular section to the side of the path and this little fella was poking around right there. Talk about the perfect storm!
I didn’t realise until I went to Stewart Island that our native Kiwi actually has five different subspecies. The Tokoeka, like this one, has somewhat of a stronghold on Stewart Island with around 15,000 individuals. Kiwis are usually nocturnal, but some Stewart Island birds and chicks forage by day which made this interaction with our national icon that much more special.
Their small eyes apparently provide decent night vision but their sense of smell is extremely well-developed with both nostrils and sensory pits located towards the tip of their long beak to help them locate prey. They hunt by literally poking around with their long beak, plunging it into the ground at a fairly rapid rate, snuffling like a hedgehog the whole time. I don’t know exactly what I expected but I found this pretty amusing!
