Did I mention that I find these tracks in the fields fascinating? Here's another one.
In a last minute edit I reduced the contrast to make it slightly less dramatic. Yes, I do read your comments, Bernd. ;-)

I had originally intended to use actual bear tracks, but we were not able to get off the boats we were using for a bear viewing trip. (we could get fairly close to the bears while the hunted the fish, but could not go into their land based territory. So I used these painted track at Rust Flying Services in Anchorage, who flew us to the lodge we used for viewing bears. THey lead from the lobby waiting area to the restrooms in the other building.
These tracks are easy to distinguish from the numerous dog tracks on local beaches because otters have five toes while dogs have four. Also, their bounding gait creates a characteristic pattern that is somewhat puzzling at first sight.
I very frequently come across such tracks on the beach, often multiple tracks running side by side. I don't often see the otters themselves. I think they frolic on the beach at night or at the crack of dawn, but they are definitely present and I do see them swimming in the water.
Despite being on a Pacific beach, these are river otters living in the Rogue River, not sea otters. The back feet of sea otters are more like flippers. Also, since being brought to the very edge of extinction by European fur hunters, sea otters have not returned to the Oregon Coast. Hunting has been banned since the 1911 International Fur Seal Treaty, but there are still no sea otters in Oregon although there are healthy populations in California and Alaska.

On my last desert shot, many of you have suggested to try B&W, so here it is! This is the track leading to the Fossil Rock on the far end.
The desert would surely look better without those tracks...but we gotta get there somehow. Well, the most ecological way would be the camel, walking is definitely not an option! ;-)
Merry Christmas to all of you my dear friends!. Hope you had a nice Christmas eve with your loved ones!
Image on my way trail running to the highest point on the Kepler Track Great Walk - the Mount Luxmore Summit (1472m) in the very south of New Zealand. Cloudy conditions so views moody and muted. I’ve done this route many times but always such a joy. Feeling very grateful.
I am happy to share here my first mountain landscape photo made in.... France, my native country! Travelling a lot and living abroad for a long time has given me the possibility to look at my home country differently, and I can see and appreciate more some beautiful things and places, and, on the contrary, get upset or disappointed by other issues that I was not seeing before.

I’ve always liked trains, and it seems like I have always lived close enough to a train track that I can hear them from time to time. Perfect conditions for Infrared photography are when the sky is overcast and there is enough foliage so that when the greens become whites (because they reflect a good deal of infrared light) it creates a surreal look I like. And train tracks; train tracks are good, too.
