One of my favorites from the chimpanzee place in the LA zoo. The monkey looks a tad blue, though.

Hiding
Spotted this gal just left to the path and crouched. Managed to take this shot through dense vegetation before she panicked. Technically not perfect but conveys the thrill of stalking pretty good.

City in Danger
Playing around with some presets in Lightroom. Gives the otherwise quite bland image that something, I think.

Pied Wagtail
My first half-decent bird picture ever, I think. Taken on my recent sunrise trip to a nearby swamp to see whether the grouse' would be playing.

Thief
That nuthatch is really worthy its name. The guy kept coming back for peanuts that were actually there for the tits.
The saint I
The Karli bridge is fabulous, especially in the evening. It's strange to think that most of the original figures are tucked away somewhere and the ones we see are the replicas...

Haliaetus albicilla
What do you do when you drive along a dirt track with your brand new camera you barely know and out of nowhere not one, but _two_ white-tailed eagles appear _very low_ in the sky in front of you? If you are anything like me, you almost crash, drop half the gear, manage a crappy shot like this and swear silently for two weeks.

Temporary Fire III
There has been a song from JMKE haunting me for ages. In English, it has an ending (Estonian version here: http://punk.bumpclub.ee/punktex/J.M.K.E/grin_tex.html#tuli) that goes like this:
Temporary fire and temporary honor
For the fallen heroes
The picture is taken in the Maarjamäe Memorial Ensemble that was erect to contain a Eternal Fire in remembrance of soviet soldiers fallen in WWII. The fire is now extinct.

Flight
A find from the days in Milan. Despite the horrible stomach virus, these were nice days. Especially looking from waaaay over here.

Amsterdam Spring
Saw this re-used bicycle when we decided we had time for a short hop to Amsterdam on our layover to LA.

Forgotten
It always breaks my heart to see old trusty bicycles left alone like this. You wouldn't do that to your horse, would you?

There ought to be fish
One of my favorites from the Geneva Lake Bird Show also known as "here's cookies for everyone"
