Thank you for visiting, Nature observation has always had my strong interest. The best possible way of living the observation even stronger is by trying to capture the moment. The difference between watching and seeing is consciousness, making pictures enhances consciousness. Enjoy the pictures, please drop me a note to share your comments Kind Regards, Bart and thanks to Martine for making the nice "actionshot" - well, at least I was on the look-out for a sea-eagle in Poland - to see more of Jacky and Martines pictures, visit www.natuurinbeeld.be http://bartvan.smugmug.com/Other/My-Smug-Mug/Bart-voor-website/418328841_WR24S-Ti.jpg http://bartvan.smugmug.com/Other/ 2009-12-09T16:13:18Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
