[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
After two days of climbing in the Wichita Mountains of southwestern Oklahoma I decided to wait for the sun to set over some of the more beautiful peaks in the range. While I was waiting a herd of bison, which inhabit the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge in very large numbers, decided to cross the road. Our hour and a half wait flew by as we alternated watching and photographing the herd. As the light began to fade and the shadows became long this bison decided to make the crossing on his own, presenting a great picture.

Why did the bison cross the road?? Wow, very cute photo. I guess that's the way it really should be, with the animals roaming wild. Nice crisp image and very well captured.

I like this picture, Sam !
The bison is well captured.
I propose you a workshop to try to give another perception of the space.
Thanks for this picture.

this shot take my eyes. it is very symbolic and show a contemporan wild animal living in a techno world. we are intruders in his wild life, crossing his heels by roads, etc, etc.
nice colors and light.
