Time to move South

...for this arctic tern to move back south. The last rays of the

midnight sun shine on Kongsfjorden, the Kings Bay, on Spitzberg island

a 1000 km from the North Pole, and this bird is ready to start its

mind bobbling migration south. Following the sun will fly over the

atlantic, follow the coast of America or Africa, and make it for

another summer close to Antarctica... before coming north again for

another summer close to the North Pole...

 

I tried to capture this uniquely beautiful, yet unforgiving, scenery,

with such an impressive bird. Did it work? Advices and constructive

criticism is much welcome.

 

Thanks a lot, s.

Great scenery! What if adding more sky? Maybe strong sensation of wilderness with that low clouds. Image bird is small but it gives more feeling of lonelyness. I observed that bird in Norway in august 2000. So wonderful bird and so tough traveler!! Regards

Great image, find your upload bit small, wich makes it less easy to judge. there is a lot of loss because of the compression. I guess you have you're reasons for that.
