On the brink
… and it’s just about to drop!
And now for something completely different. This photo is from the South Africa vs Scotland game during the Rugby World Championship 2015 (one of the only two international matches I have ever been to). It’s really not fair to post a photo from a rugby match for this topic as you can just point the camera and something is happening. But I thought I’d share this tender moment between Francois Louw and Schalk Burger just before a line out (at any other time, this gesture might have been misunderstood):

Cee asked for animals for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge. I found a squirrel yesterday. Or did it find me?
More animal shots can be found here.

Sunday is collage day for me; every Sunday, without fail, I publish a collage for Aino’s Värikollaasit. (Today, for example, this one. So – here is my collage for One Word Sunday: sense.

After the harvest surprise
I saw this stork stalking through the cut off wheat stalks (oh my!) and grabbed my camera. If I noticed the two spots in the back to the left of him, I didn’t give them a second thought.
I got closer. Magnificent bird, I thought, totally focused on the stork.
I zoomed in. What a wonderful bird!
Only at home, when I had transferred the photos to my computer and saw them on the larger screen, I realised that those brown, indistinct lumps had ears.

River surfing
During lunchtime surfers queue up and wait their turn to surf on the standing wave in the Eisbach, a man made side arm of the river Isar in the middle of the city of Munich.

Stork flies but fly doesn’t
After last week’s One Word Sunday I thought I had to share a stork taking flight; i.e. a stork which flies. Possibly, storks which fly.
Which fly? This fly:
But it wouldn’t fly for me.
