Nikon D300 Salad | Angry Snow Leopard

Nikon D300 Salad | Angry Snow Leopard

Nikon D300 Salad | Angry Snow Leopard   Snow Leopards are not very aggressive toward humans.  In fact, they are the least aggressive of all the “Big Cats”.  Still, a Snow Leopard presents a very imposing figure.  Luckily this image was captured in the Central Park Zoo in NYC.  The teeth tell the story. Snow Leopards don’t roar, but they do growl.  They also purr, mew, hiss, moan, and yowl.   For more snow leopard images, see Snow Leopard | a 7 Image Story.

The Back Story  This image was anything but a simple click.  Finally, it became a simple click after positioning myself with a long telephoto lens to make the fence disappear.   Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

Nikon D300 Salad | Montana Trains

Nikon D300 Salad | Montana Trains   You can’t travel much through Montana without noticing the trains.  Montana is a long state and trains linking the east and west travel through the mountain valleys carrying many products from coal to aircraft fuselages.  Yes, that’s a 737 fuselage on the car right behind the engine.  It’s not a sight you see everyday.  Although if you live near the mountain valleys in Montana, you might see it more often.  To see more transport images, see Planes Trains & Automobiles | a 7 Image Story.

The Back Story    This image came from a simple click at a highway turnoff along the railroad tracks.    Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
