the eagle and the peaks


the eagle and the peaks, originally uploaded by jamesburden.

I’m in the USA at the moment – on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. I’ve been chasing these eagles for the last few days trying to get a decent picture of them. I’ve got ‘better’ photos of the eagles than this one – but they just don’t work. This is the only one that works. To see an eagle you need to see it in context. A picture frame full of the detail of the eagle is no use if you can’t see that eagle soaring above serried peaks. What is an eagle without the mountains?
