A late night photo walk yesterday. Mist, a light sprinkling of snow, a few hares, not a lot of people...

I went for a customary Wednesday evening run and then realized I should have gone for a photo walk instead as the weather was a bit unusual: mist and snow at the same time. I got back home at around 9 pm, changed clothes and grabbed my camera.

I ended up walking for a couple of hours in Tali and Munkkivuori until my fingers were frozen enough to call it quits. I am not particularly happy with any of the photos – mostly of empty streets as I saw only a few other people. There were brown hares though...

I spotted another #hare in the wilds of #Magdeburg! This time at #Klosterbergegarten (park along the Elbe river)

Urban Safari for #WildlifeWednesday and #WhiskersWednesday 🐰

Behind #Magdeburg's biggest shopping centre and just outside #UnserLieberFrauen abbey turned art museum, I found these two #hares frolicking in the grass. There's quite a big #hare population in the city, but I've never had the chance to see them so close and take somewhat decent photos. And yes, they are hares, not rabbits!

"Damn it, there's a paparazzi behind that tree and rock. Do you mind? I'm having lunch."

Photos like these make feel like I am an animal paparazzi – stalking the local wildlife and peeking behind trees and rocks with a camera. And if the largest gull species in the world shows me its bum, I'll take an "upskirt photo" of it if I have to. That indignant stare...
