Just outside my window, this hawk sat perched in thin air, perfectly still and balanced on the coastal wind, stalking the rodent below.

  1. A beautiful shot. Interesting how the darker clouds are below. I guess the sun had set enough to only cast rays into the upper region. That hawk is definitely no "brick." ;-}

  2. It is an awesome sight to see a bird of prey hover in that manner and then dive to retrieve its supper. The Hitchhiker’s quote made me smile too.

  3. .. tell you what, from a far this shot reminds Five Miles Out cover (just with a more bio incline)
