  4. Large bird and nest. Is it an osprey?

  5. @ Lois: No, it's not an osprey, it's a stork.

  7. Very nice composition. I had to look twice and then I saw the stork.

  8. Unusual chimney style - at least from my limited experience. Thanks for sharing! (I was beginning to think storks were mythical creatures. Never saw a real one before.)

  9. Here's what's wonderful to me about this picture: I saw things in it step by step. First I saw the interesting perspective of an old church steeple behind a slanting roof. Then I looked at the structure next to it that seemed to be sporting a bundle of sticks. I remembered reading about storks' nest in Europe and wondered if it could be one of them; so I enlarged the photos--and only then saw the stork! It was like opening one of those gifts where ever smaller boxes are nested inside each other until you get to the prize.

  10. I like how the owners of the chimney have erected the frame so that the stork can still have it's nest there.

  11. I love all of the different things to see in this image, but I expecially love that stork's nest.
