The art of photography often depends precisely on the photographer's talent to be at the right time in the right place, and press the camera button in time. Otherwise, the moment will be lost, and how many stunning images will thus lose the opportunity to be seen? So, the photographer was very lucky to catch a large horned owl (owl) in flight, which lives in the province of Saskatchewan, and to do it just at the moment that the bird flew out of its shelter, going on a hunt.

Friction stones are huge boulders that lie here and there on the ground in the Colville Indian Reservation in Washington. And all because the buffalo come here to scratch their horns, sides and muzzles. Such a sight is difficult to imagine, but at night, in the light of the stars, these 40-ton boulders look very picturesque characters.

The underwater camera, which is used to capture the beauty of a sea, river, ocean or lake day, shows the lush vegetation at the bottom of Eagle Lake. Lily leaves release sulfur dioxide into the water, which makes the reservoir empty, completely fishless. However, thanks to restorative, almost life-saving measures, some of them are gradually recovering.

A rainy day is able to awaken a poet even in the least emotional person, and from the most cheerful person - to make a philosopher, a dreamer, a sage … It all depends on where at the moment the bad weather found this very person. Indeed, even the noisy intersections of the American capital Washington, under the streams of rain, become like steel Parisian streets.

Spring, the streams murmur, breaking the icy shackles of the snow hardened in the air … And in Finland these streams can become real rivers, so fast and powerful that they can compete with streams in the mountains. It was such a stream of spring water, crushing ice obstacles on its way, that the photographer captured in early spring.

And in the southeast of Texas, spring came into legal rights at the end of February. Here greenery is buzzing with might and main, flowers are blooming, young grass is breaking through … And the green lizard gladly sheds its old, worn skin, and warms itself in the warm sun.

On the border of Poland and the Czech Republic, stretching from north-west to south-east, there is the Karkonosze massif, the main part of which is covered by the National Park of the same name. The name of the mountains comes from the name of the fabulous giant Karkonosha, who is considered the guardian of the local green world. But another name for the massif is also common - Giant Mountains. There is a tourist center and a ski center for both Poland and the Czech Republic.
