Grey heron in Hamburg

I have not been taking many photos lately.
No time to visit places and my town is just not that interesting to be honest.

Exercising is going well (though a little challenging at 44 years old 😄), so hopefully by the time the snow melts on the mountain I will be "hiking fit" (yea, right!). I want to try some detail nature photography and maybe some landscape photography even though I'm not good at it. We'll see!

In the meantime I am playing around with my old pictures in #Darktable
Here's a grey heron (Ardea cinerea) perched on a dead tree branch.
I took this one in 2024 just near my house, along the little stream.

Tagging 'Umrisse' #fotovorschlag / 'Outlines' #photosuggestion
although I don't think outline is the same as silhouette. But I see people posting silhouettes anyway 😁

a grey heron flying in the distant sky! one of the nice things about the bay area is that you can see birds in the distance, but it's difficult to photograph them... #bird #nature #greyheron
