He looks quite ferocious and dangerous, doesn't he? Actually, this, supposedly at least 50 year old, alligator has lost both of his eyes in fights against peers and now he is quite helpless, at least, as far as humans in boats are concerned. I remember seeing this alligator first years ago. Then, he still had one eye but life must have been rough since. I was not expecting to ever meet the old fellow again, but our airboat ran right into him as soon as we got into the grassy part of Everglades. The boat captain would endearingly call the gator "Old Man" and try to persuade him to get out of the boat's way (which, after some haggling, he unwillingly did). Anyway, I hope to meet him again the next time I visit Everglades. Good hunting until then, Old Man!
Just look at all those "shiny" eyes and smiling faces...
Florida Everglades: almost stepped on this fellow by mistake to take a better look at the swamp.
We've seen it all... appeared to be the expression of these sheep in the face of the oncoming Saharan sand-storm. The white "wall" in the background is sand, lifted up and carried by the wind. The sand would change colors depending on the density of clouds above, but at this point it just seemed like a white, impenetrable wall. Seconds later, the wall would be where the sheep were in the picture. Once you are in the middle of it, you cannot see further than a couple yards and the sand has it's evil ways to get EVERYWHERE. I had to hide my eyes and my camera. However, the little Canon still remembers the experience, whenever I try to rotate any dials. The sheep did not seem to be bothered though...
