A Hawish Look

A hawk looking at me from a tree, somewhere on the north sea coast, near Westerhaven, Germany

Mystery Picture

Can you tell what this picture is? I decided to post this in an unusual perspective, as it seems to have a better effect. Please leave comments as to what you think it is.

The Weigh House

This is a picture of De Waag (the weigh house) in Amsterdam. The building is from 1488, and is the oldest non-religious structure in Amsterdam. It was originally one of the gates of the old city wall. I took this picture in march 2009, with a Casio EX-FH20 bridge camera at ISO 400 1/6 sec. I stabilized the camera on the railing of the bridge.

Bird Perch

This hedge sparrow has been a daily visitor at our feeder. He comes by several times throughout the day, and then retreats to his home underneath our garden bench. I really enjoy watching him hop around and pick up fallen seeds from underneath the feeder.

How Many Fish!?!

This little puffin seems to have had a very successful catch! Pufffins generally catch around 10 fish at a time to bring back to the burrough, but can hold many more in their beaks. The record number of fish ever counted was 62! It looks like this one is working his way up there.

Ominous Clouds

It was very windy yesterday. The weather has taken a massive swing in the last week, and it's causing some strange happenings in the skys. I looked out the window yesterday, and saw these incredible formations. I ran outside with the camera to capture it. Here's the result.
