Spreading your wings, ready to fly – which Path will you choose for the new year?
I am hoping mine will give me many inspiring photo moments. One of the highlights this year was a visit to bird watchers paradise Hornøya – located in arctic Norway.
All the best for 2017!

Great shot of the cormorant. I always love watching them when they spread their wings out to dry them. And their green eyes are amazing….Happy New Year.

Thank you so much! This is the first time I was able to study them up close, I was probably not more than 4 meters away from the birds and they didn’t seem to mind. Very fascinating!

What beast you use to take this amazing shot, Inger?

You’d imagine a telephoto lens is required, but actually it was not. This photo was taken on the bird island Hornøya and the birds on this island is used to visitors and you can actually get fairly close to the birds without them being disturbed:)
