Fish fry shoal looking for food under the jetty. No adult fish to show them the ropes. With nothing more than what’s coded in their DNA they have to find food. Steer away from bigger fish and birds trying to eat them. If the grow up someone might catch them and fry them.
Ha de Gött!
Meet the seal (Phoca vitulina). Last Saturday I got the boat in the water and today went for a short tour bringing the camera. I was hoping for some birds but this little girl, I think it is a she, turned up. I’ve seen her many times before but she is shy. So, every time I get the camera up she dives or stays out of reach. This time I had the zoom lens 55-250 mm. Ha de Gött!
I took this picture trying to capture the very special light. Is this picture hopeful or frightening?
Sunlight piercing through the dark clouds. Blue skies shows like hope. A house stands firmly on the rock. Shelter against the howling wind. Beams of hopeful light shines on the boats safe on land. Shines in the glittering water, like a child laughter. Bright crest on the clouds like bird wings.
Thickening clouds cover the sun. Blue skies turn darker and darker. Shadows eating the light. The structure on the rocks turns to a scary fortress. Birds fly nervously to take shelter. Water shivers in the cold wind. Clouds turns into deeper gray like a cold November day.
Two ways of describing the same picture. Which one fits you today?
After some pictures of water in turmoil I like to share a picture with calm water. Ha de Gött!
What am I, but a drop in the ocean Clustered together with others Strong carry tons of steel Together as one Life, feeding a world Glue to the chain of food Flying high up in the sky Momentum from wind and sun Master basic states of physics Cold Solid, tempered liquid, gaseous hot What am I, but a drop in the ocean Circle of life, life itself
Water, H2O, a chemical compound that covers 71% of the Earths surface. All living organism depend on it. We should treat it with the respect it deserves. Ha de Gött!
Flying steady in formation. We fly safe in any kind of weather. Stay on course with the Quacknav. Tested for many generations. The way we can see even when flying over the sea. You can huff and you can puff. We just quack on.
More pictures from the windy Friday and the ducks wanted to be the stars also today. Ha de Gött!
I listen around, easily scare I'm just a lonely, little hare You sit there, so full of luck You can fly, being a duck Yes, in any weather We just spread our feather Finding out track By sounding our quack I'm fast to outrun The man with a gun I'm in a special class Expert to hide in grass But how do you escape the hunter? Oh, we just duck!
Wishing you a happy weekend. Ha de Gött!
Stormy weather today with winds up to 25 m/s. I was out to the natural preserve and took some photos after work. Not finished sorting and post production yet but I like to share this with you. Ha de Gött!
A few days ago I wrote about our annual Easter historical walk to the natural preserve, Tjurpannan. I took some nice pictures that i plan to share with you. But as I went through them I saw these pictures that I also took. So what’s wrong with this picture?
Is it the Homo Sapiens in a nutshell? Intelligent enough to invent a fantastic material as plastic. Dumb enough to just dump it in the oceans hoping it will disappear. It doesn’t look very nice and animals can get stuck or swallow it with tremendous suffering before death.
But the biggest problem is when the plastic parts are grind down to small parts, called micro plastic. Fish and animals eat it and it travels up the food chain. They get troubles breeding and can even starve to death when their intestines are damaged. Who is usually in the top of the food chain?
So please don’t leave that plastic on the ground. Pick it up! Ha de Gött!
