Oriol Alamany - One of the last Iberian Lynx

Sat, 25 May 2013 08:00 +0200

On my last picture on May 10th I showed you the Iberian Lynx habitat. Today I show you one of the pictures that I managed to make of this endangered feline after nine days of work and lots of hours of waiting. This photograph is a document that I was very happy to do as this is one of the only 309 Iberian Lynx remaining in the World.

This beautiful flower is found usually in the mediterranian areas. There are some rare patches of that flower that grow on the island of Öland ... hidden in the dark forests.

On a evening in May, after a long day of waiting and when hope was already lost, His majesty, the endangered Marsican brown bear, made his appearance in the mountain meadow. Unfortunately, the sun had already already set since a while and light was fading quickly; soon I could barely distinguish the outline of the bear. As there was no chance for a sharp picture, I started experimenting a little, which is something I rarely have the luxury to do with skittish Italian wildlife. The camera autofocus was useless; the viewfinder was almost completely dark and so I focused manually on a bright stone near the bear and blindly panned the lens as this moved. What came out are some noisy and blurred images, of course, which don't give justice to the animal itself but surely represent more faithfully my perception of that lucky encounter.

Horsetails always attracted me with their interesting stems, leaves and sporophylls. The Swamp Horsetail (Equisetum fluviatile) is very common in the reed beds of Scandinavian lakes. Especially backlight situations show the beautiful structures of these archaic herbs to advantage.

Hoarfrost on the turf and fog on a bog lake. Perfect scenery to enjoy before sunrise.

Today is the Norwegian National Day. This is the day we celebrate our constitution and our great nation. I feel privileged to be born in Norway, in so many ways. We have our freedom and stability, we have a secure economy with jobs for everyone and we have plenty of space and unspoiled nature. So today we celebrate how lucky we are..., but are we taking all this for granted? Do we really know how lucky we are, and what obligations follow with this privilege? I think not. Over and over again we see how economic growth and wealth rampage our natural heritage to feed our constant need for more and more - and we end up with less.

We admire the wings of butterflies, but usually miss the rest of the body. Well, here is some of it.
