"Where Eagles Dare"
They say ”we measure our lives not by the breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away”. Surely there is nothing that comes close to the iconic Bald Eagle and the freedom, spirit, power & peace it represents to every American. I set myself a goal of a picture of one in the wild, free and in a habitat typical of North America. I went to visit Quabbin reservoir in Western Massachusetts. 3 hours in and I had seen one seagull and I started to doubt my research. As if by magic a few minutes later an Eagle 🦅 appeared from behind a pine tree and tracked across the lake some 50 yards away. Could all the hours of practice, research, hiking , technical skills development and investment in the best tools for the job deliver? You will be the judge of that not I, but I can say this was a truly magical & emotional moment for me. A bald eagle is 7 feet of imperious top of the food chain attitude!
