This is the additional weekly image thread for the Nature Forum. While images posted to this thread should still be nature in theme, it may contain a small amount of human-made objects and therefore less restricted than the Monday in Nature threads. Please see this discussion for more details: Alternative weekly thread in Nature forum

 

Each participant please post no more than just one image per weekly thread.

Car versus bird unfortunately.

The form is almost identical to the knot called, monkeys fist.

Nice snake shot, but not Monkey's Fist - slight similarity to stage 2 of building the knot. Monkey's Fist is a spherical knot frequently used in olden days to make a weapon called a slung shot. Effective enough to still be specifically banned in various locations.

True Sandy, not quite a monkey's fist. I should have found my copy of Ashley's Book of Knots for him, or was it her? Would probably have had to grow a bit of length also. ;

 

As Indy Jones would say, "why does it always have to be snakes"!

For another of my snake encounters check the Leica and rangefinder weekly thread. Missed a shot worthy of MIN, but survived.
