The blue tit is enjoying the meal. The feed is my Santa Claus present for the birds. Super-size me up ;-)
It was hard work to catch a bird for a photo. Fast animals.
No photoshop. Its hanging in front of a wall.

Die Blaumeise beim Mittagessen.
Der Meisenknödel hängt übrigens vor einer Wand, daher die Schatten von Knödel und Meise. Keine Arbeit mit Photoshop, das ist das Originalfoto.
Ich lag mit der Kamera im Anschlag direkt am Vogelhäuschen und bei der geringsten Bewegung sind die Vögelchen wieder weggeflogen. Ich habe als Kind gerne Sielmann-oder Grzimek-Filme geschaut und mich immer über die Verkleidungen und Verstecke der Tierfilmer amüsiert. Seit letzten Sonntag lache ich darüber nicht mehr.

I have photographed the pachyderms in the wild in Tsavo, Kenya. Elephants are fascinating animals. They are looking so compact, balanced and snuggish. They enjoyed the mud-bath.

Den Elefanten habe ich in freier Wildbahn in Tsavo, Kenia fotografiert. Sie sehen aus als würden sie das Schlammbad genießen.

Cynomolgus Monkey (6th anniversary Getty Images edition)

Image by Erik K Veland
Here's a remastered version of my all time favourite photo. It was recently picked for the Getty Images Flickr Collection and I had to do a "creative upsize" to make the resolution big enough for acceptance. While no replacement for the original (long lost) full-resolution image, it looks and prints much better.

Learn more about the Batu Caves:
Batu Caves is a limestone hill, which has a series of caves and cave temples, located in Gombak district, 13 km north of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It takes its name from the Sungai Batu or Batu River, which flows past the hill. Batu Caves is also the name of the nearby village.

The cave is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India, dedicated to Lord Muruga. It is the focal point of the annual Thaipusam festival in Malaysia and attracts over more than 1.5 million pilgrims, making it one of the largest gatherings in history.

There are various undeveloped caves which contain a diverse range of cave fauna, including some unique species, such as Liphistiidae spiders and Eonycteris fruit bats. The site is also well known for its numerous macaque monkeys, which visitors feed — sometimes involuntarily.

“To them, their fingers are eyes”

Cruelty in Foie gras

Image by pickled_newt ( busy again on n off B)
This photo is attributed to the works of Jerry.




In view of posting a dish with Foie gras ,I did some reading about the latter .Although I have the idea of the cruel techniques inflicted on ducks to produce Fioe gras ,IMHO posting a picture of only the dish alone, and rant about force feeding ducks / geese makes the subject a bit limp / low impact .To highlight animal cruelty ,there's the need of a picture depicting the process of force feeding which I don't have. Then I spotted this brilliant photo of a duck or maybe goose being forced feed in wikipedia....

If " A picture speaks a thousand words " then this is it !

Imagine the duck in the picture as yourself , sure you would hate ,horrified by it.
It's a slow death .

Ecomuseum - Renard Artique - Arctic Fox

Image by Humanoide
Dimanche, le 20 mai 2007, je suis allé à l'Ecomuseum avec le groupe Photo Safari Montreal. C'est un zoo privé avec plein de végétation et d'animaux de toutes sortes. C'est pas mal grand et très beau à voir. J'ai toujours un peu de peine à voir des animaux en captivité, mais je comprend le coté éducatif de la chose. Je crois que c'est bien fait en général, avec un certain espace disponible pour les animaux, incluant des parties plus "intimes" où ils peuvent se reposer. Ce n'est pas cher et c'est vraiment intéressant.

On Sunday, May 20, 2007, I went to the Ecomuseum with the Photo Safari Montreal group. It's a private zoo with a lot of plants and animals of all kind. It always make me a little sad to see animals in captivity, but I understand the educational part of it. I think they did a good job in general, with a certain amount of space available to the animals, including more "intimate" areas where they can rest. It's a beautiful place and very affordable.
