Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everybody! The first upload this year is one with a nostalgic value for me. During my highschool period (about 30 years ago … ouch!) I watched these brownish Little Grebes (Tachybaptus ruficollis/Dodaars) every winter on the Dommel river in Eindhoven. They dive in and around the rich vegetation of the banks in search of something edible. Over the years I forgot the plain beauty of this scene. Until today.

* Canon EOS 40D with 500mm/f4 IS and 1.4x; ISO-800, f5.6, 1/200s, -1 stop; from beanbag, lying in the snow.
