Birdman

IMG_3791I made friends with Yaniel in Viñales in the western part of Cuba. He has spent his whole life in that particular valley in Pinar del Rio province.

Yaniel is surrounded by animals of all sorts, horses, dogs, cattle and above all birds. The nature itself is his teacher and what Yaniel does´nt know about birds is not worth knowing.

By the way, do they see the same hairdresser??

On the rocks

5D  is mm 053  Winter came. The creek along my walking trail in Änggårdsbergen is dressed in ice. This was earlier today when I was trying to get my daily dose of sun light.

Another image from the northern archipelago in the Gothenburg area.

Caribbean dream

Isla Mujeres, Yucatan Mexiko. Take the ferry from the mainland to this quiet little island not far from Cancun. (That´s my daughter Kajsa standing at the palm tree admiring the sunset)

If you feel like more adventures you can go by motorboat further out in the Gulf of Mexico to Isla Contoy National Park, a rare unspoilt bird protection island .

One angry bird

  From the Christmas day cock-fight at a hard to find place somewhere behind the Mogotes mountains in Viñales, Cuba.

And.. yes I know it´s a messy, cruel phenomena just like bullfights or any other activity that includes tormenting animals.

Winter´s coming

I regularly walk or run along this creek. Those who follow my blog have seen images from this place representing different seasons… this one would be the final sign of the autumn 2012.

Änggårdsbergen, Gothenburg.

By the way, be careful with your compact camera in humid places. Mine gave up completely a week ago perhaps for being a bit over ambitious along this creek.

True blood..

  One interesting phenomena in the Seychelles fauna is the Fruitbat or Flying Fox. Pteropus Seychellensis.

An important species for the ecosystems in the islands. The bat is big as a seagull, and you see them flying around all over also at day time. They are hunted for their meat by some of the locals.

About the catchy Halloween title…no worries, they only eat fruit and flower nectar.  The pic is taken in Praslin island in February 2012 and turned upside down
