Someone has been busy


I didn't see the beaver or its dam, but he sure has been working a lot lately.

    Ivar- Wow, that is quite a large tree for a beaver to fall. Amazing how persistent they are. You just wonder why they cut down those large trees. They can't move them, perhaps they do it to get at the young branches for food.

    Så flott! Det øverste bildet er jo bare supert! Veldig morsomt å se hvordan beveren har spist seg gjennom treet også:)
    Synd du ikke traff på den da;)

    Det var litt av en jobb - både av bever og fotograf. Men jeg visste ikke at det var bever i Trøndelag?

    Now that's a busy beaver. He sets his goals high.

    Wow. I have never seen such a large tree felled by anything except a chain saw or a sharp axe. I am thrilled the beavers are alive and doing what comes naturally to them. I think this is a prize winner, Ivar.

    Ivar: I agree with Tom in the first comment. That was a lot of work for a tree they can't move. I thought they cut down trees they could drag.

    Det først bilde var meget bra Ivar. Flott komponert og en imponerende jobb av en bever.

    Jeg brukte et Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 objektiv og ikke stativ. Det er et lyssterkt og meget skarpttegnende objektiv til under 1000 lappen. Og det er verdt hver krone.
    Vurderer å kjøpe 35mm f/2.0 også det koster noe mere.

    Dang! Did a beaver do that!? It makes my teeth hurt thinking about what a job that was. :-) I really, really like the texture of that wood though. It would be great to be able to make something out of that.

    We have beavers here along the Danube, too. And here they are very diligent, too ;)

    The sun shines on the wood enhances the beauty of the wood texture.

    Very neat photo! Nice those colorful bits of wood on dark ground.

    It's bit wonderous that the animal didn't get the tree on top of its head. It's really narrow near the last bites.

    Again - beautiful! I love the almost gold color. I would print it on a canvas and hang it up. Really - I love it.
