Flying Free

[Mike Mancil]

California Condors flying over Big Sur. This is from a past trip there, but one of my favorite shots. It helps to illustrate the grace of these threatened birds.

I like the misty backdrop for this - makes the condors really stand out.

Wonderful image of those birds with a great background. It's hard to capture the size of the condors. They are huge and have one of the widest wingspans in north America.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Nicely done.

 

[Martín el Escocés]

Well done indeed, Mike! You have provided these aristocratic avions with a suitably artistic background by the misty layers of trees and slopes.

Thanks everyone. I usually don't shoot into the Sun, but the scene unfolded in front of me and I couldn't resist... Mike

Hey Mike, this is sure cool. It's much better looking then what my original read of the thread title was "Flying Tree".... Not sure why my mind went there.

So when I didn't see any trees flying, I went and reread the title...

Hey, it’s Friday, you’ll recover and settle down by tomorrow .
