Landing

One more, this time from avian. The light on this spring morning in 2007 was really nice. Unfortunately, Hurricane Gustav or Ike (they were back to back a few weeks apart) destroyed this rookery.

This is amazing! It amazed me when I first saw it, and continues to do so today! Everything about it is perfect, in fact, it might be the best avian image I've ever seen.
