Evening Beauty. Βραδυνή Ομορφιά.

I took these photographs approximately one hour ago from my back balcony, in the evening light. Its nature's beauty at its best. It is the one of the pair of hawks that are nesting on the roof. Just wish i could get that mast stripped off all the wires. (Camera Nicon D60, Lens 70-300mm 1:4.5-5.6 G, manual focus)
Τράβηξα τις φωτογραφίες που ακολουθούν πριν μια ώρα περίπου, από το πίσω μπαλκόνι μου, στο βραδυνό φώς. Η ομορφιά της φύσης σ' όλο της το μεγαλείο. Είναι το ένα από το ζευγάρι των γερακιών που έχουν φωλιάσει στην στέγη. Μακάρι να μπορούσα να βγάλω όλα τα σύρματα της κεραίας.

  1. Gorgeous captures, Costas, in spite of all the modern technology that does tend to get in our way when we're trying to catch the very best of nature! So beautiful! And the last one is perfect! Have a wonderful evening!

  6. Dear friend~ not to worry about those wires, for you can still view the beauty of these wonderful hawks. What a great thing to have them still so near. You have a delightful and restful evening Costas. Chow

  7. Κωστή μου πολύ όμορφο
    αλλά εχω την εντύπωση ότι είναι κιρκινέζι και όχι γεράκι!
    Τα χρώματα και το μέγεθος έτσι μου μοιάζουν αλλά είναι από μακριά και δεν μπορώ να ξεχωρίσω!
    Φιλιά πολλά

  8. The hawk knew he is being photographed so he stayed for a while. Nice capture Costas.

  15. There's that gorgeous blue sky again. It almost looks like the bird saw you photographing it and decided to fly away! Thanks for your visit.
