Photographer’s Note
Something completely different today.
I've spotted this one during a birdshow near the Fortress of Logne (Vieuxville/Ferrieres).
Erected in the twelfth century by the Abbot of Stavelot, Wibald, the castle was given to Everard II of la Marck, lord of Aremberg, in 1427 and became the fief of this formidable family. In 1521, the fortress was attacked by the armies of Charles V who tore it down. In 1967, the ruins became the property of the Liège Province.
The fortress is divided into three parts: a donjon tower, thick walls with a high court around which the seigniorial living quarters were laid. One thing worth noting is the exceptional view offered by the fortress over the Ourthe and Lembree valleys.

It is very different indeed but, it is very beautiful too. The DOF is superb and the sharpness is outstanding. Well done

Hi Wolf:
Nice man. I thought owls were nocturnal. Great bokeh and great capture of this beautiful bird. The cloudy light really helped the image in my opinion--kept the subject from being blown out or too bright. Good job.
