Full moon rising behind a stork's next in the north of Morocco.

@djflore If storks did the "La La Land" publicity posters. 💕
@FourT4 Hahah yes I suppose so, but I didn't see the movie!
@djflore isn't this just a stork photo?
@damien A stork, a moon, a nest, a sky, I guess?

@djflore sorry, it was a silly play on words.

Stock photo vs stork photo sounds basically the same...

@damien hahaha oh dear, that one I didn’t get but I like it!
@damien @djflore it's just returning home after a busy day at the stork market
@portlandy @damien not sure which one is better 🤣
@djflore Those nests are epic! 😲
@Pezito Yep. they make huge ones!
@djflore Third time the charm 👌
@PacoVelobs Thank you, yep, worked out more or less!
@djflore Absolutely framable. Wow.
@bedifferent maybe I should try print it 🤔
@djflore Better you than me. We have a great b&w printer for documents. No color. To me, it's framable.
@bedifferent Might do next time I'm at a good printing place!
@djflore Little favor - if you do get prints, would you post it online so I can see it?
@djflore pretty nice photos Florian 👌
@djflore so beautiful. Thank you for sharing it
@djflore Amazing timing and angle. Can you share some technical detail? Judging from the size of the moon, I’m guessing something like 600 mm tele from 1-2 km away? Quite literally a long shot. It must have taken many failed attempts…

@bigz Actually I only had that one chance - went a bit early to scout. I almost got attacked by some goats, was wading through a field...

They were shot between 400-600, that's right.

Only had my 150 2.8 so a 2x converter was used to get the range. Camera is an OM System OM1.

@Florian Kriechbaumer Lovely nests.
@jrp It's amazing what they can build!
@Florian Kriechbaumer Over here, in between Hamburg and Berlin, their nests often have holes on the side. As if a second species makes their own nest within the foundation of storch nests. Pretty cool!
@jrp Interesting, frankly I know very little about them - just have some rudimentary knowledge of the African migratory species.
@djflore


Those are awesome! Thank you so much!
I had to scale and crop the heck out of it to fit the top one on my 1600x900 left monitor, but I got the good bit anyhow, at least. From now, it will randomly show up as my wallpaper changes every hour with fresh information.
@gemlog Ahh haha I can send you the full resolution one!
@djflore No,, no!! :-)
I only have 1600x900!
In order to frame the moon and the storks, I had to bring it down to ~1364x900.
That really is a spectacular series. Wonderful. Do you live in Morocco or just visiting?
@gemlog haha glad it works. I was just visiting - actually lot more to explore!
Wow! Was für unglaublich tolle Aufnahmen.
@djflore thanks for the beautiful images. This sky color is just wonderful
