Yeah, I'm not sure if those lopped sections were dead or just recently lopped and expected to grow back. It almost looked like they were practicing bonsai on a very large scale.

Here's a shot of a similar one from closer to the house looking back out.

I still look at this every week:

I don't agree with everything that they say, but it's mostly good and useful.

We loved our visit to Barcelona last year. Your view from the park catches one part of the vibe.

Ed, that guy looks like Wile E. Coyote. Great shot.

Lovely landscapes and clouds guys !

As 2016 draws to a close I thought you might like a colourful image and an 'Aurora Curtain' seemed appropriate.
This one is from last year but I never processed it and can't remember why, it must be an age thing !
Anyway looking through my aurora shots yesterday for another project, I had another look at this and loved the range of colours in it.
Taken only about a mile from home, this one has the camera pointing north west across The Moray Firth towards Cromarty and The Black Isle.
Hope you enjoy it, Happy New Year

Beautiful harrier portrait, Ed. Do you think that's a juvenile male?

Mr Tonka · 12-31-2016, 09:32 PM

You guys capture some fantastic images.

I remember you being pretty good. Join in.

Mr Tonka · 12-31-2016, 09:47 PM

Last trip in went on was to Barbados and after much deliberation, decided to not take my camera gear. I did take plenty of phone pics....

This is one of my favorites. The guy was fishing through a blow hole!

Thanks Dave. Yes, I'm pretty sure it was a youngster.
