    Crystal Ball

    Or a magician's staff, or a paper weight, or just a twig with some ice. The "ball" is about the diameter of one's pinky finger - but there was a complete mountain-scape in there.

    300mm with 20mm and 36mm tubes, lens on cast, body for focusing.

    Wow, what a nice shot Loupey, not often we see that type of thing down in Brazil.
    Keep your sense of proportion by regularly, preferably daily, visiting the natural world.

    Talking about Wizrads, you are one!

    Nice shot. I like this a lot.

    Martin - thanks, yes I'm sure it's not a common sight down there - unless one works in a freezer

    SmartWombat - that's it, a wizzards staff! I had the mental image right but not the description David Copperfield or David Blain just wouldn't look right wearing a long pointy hat and a robe decorated with moons.

    Roger - thank you. Sometimes I wonder if my simple images are a bit too simple.

    AgingEyes - thanks. Well I did go about 48 hours without holding a camera

    Mette - thank you for commenting. I started to realize just how few non-bird images I've been taking lately - something I need to change
