The White Deer
In old European legends mythic white deer are mentioned, bearers of blessings for those who encounter them.
Walking the beautiful and lush forests of Denmark, unexpectedly I came across with this albino fallow deer. I decided to make the shot with a slight motion blur in order to evoke the magic of the encounter, and just needed only the creature to collaborate with some movement. He looked at me and started light jogging. Magic?.

Flight through the canyons (3). The Duratón River Gorges, in the province of Segovia (Spain) is a magical place where one can live the experience of being overflown at a short distance by numerous griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus) that marvel us at the sound of their wings cutting the wind.

These photographs were taken at the northern area of Tromsø, Norway. During those autumn nights, the Aurora borealis played with the clouds and strong wind all together, to create unique and original atmospheric pictures in which the greens and yellows took different kind of tones.

This series of photographs were taken very early in the morning, in Maasai Mara, with a magnificent light, when silence and solitude rules, no tourists at that time. There was the herd of lions, and it was a pleasure to watch how the puppies played, under the watchful eye of adult females. Two large males accompanied them. Occasionally, females came to pick up the pups so they would not leave the area, so immersed in their games they were. The cubs played one with each other, rolling around, playing even with "toys" (some bones), they were preparing themselves for adulthood, as these games will help them in learning how to hunt. What I observed in both young and adult lions was a very "familiar" behavior, very "human", and I realized how much we seem us, homo sapiens, to these other mammals. The dim morning side light made these lions and their fur and manes shine with their more intense colors, in harmony with the tones of the savannah. Best of all was the silence and loneliness that accompanied this experience, when you feel like a privileged spectator at the forefront of this event of nature. (19/22)

The True King, Masai Mara (2)
Species: Panthera leo.
Location: Masai Mara, Kenya.
This great male African lion was lying in the grass of the savannah while watching at his herd (females and pups). I was on safari, and we had discovered this herd very early in the morning, with a magnificent light, when silence and solitude rules, because there were no tourists at that time, only the lions and us. At that time I took some great pictures, but I have selected this close-up of the great male looking straight ahead, half hidden by the grass, with a magnificent side light which made his mane shine with its more intense colors, in harmony with the tones of the savannah.
