[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Do like the moose did, do it your way!

During snowy winters it happens the moose (Alces alces) seeks food where people live. Some years ago a moose even appeared in the centre of Trondheim, and every year there are several reports of moose in gardens and residential areas.

The winter of 1999 I too had a visit by two mooses in my own yard, but they got out as fast as they could...

But be aware, these are situations where the big animal can get dangerous as it is easily scared in the unfamiliar surroundings and attacks as an act of self-defence. There are reports of people getting seriously injured by attacking moose.

--------

THANK YOU ALL FOR 2007…
I WISH YOU A MOST WONDERFUL 2008 TO COME!

Hi Pablo, The small version appeared to be a crack in the ice. Upcloss it is as you say, a pathway to more food. Beautiful ambiance and quietness flows from this composition. TFS. Murray.

Hi Pablo,

Hello Pablo !
I have seen the same road in my backyard, only that it was made by my cats ! :-) It's a little less impressive than your moose, I think... Anyways, it is an excellent picture, I like composition very much. Really winter atmosphere.
I have enjoyed looking at your pictures in 2007, I hope you will keep posting as many wonderful photos in 2008
I wish you a happy new year !
Valerie.

Hello Pablo,
I don't think we have seen Elk tracks (the European Elk and the N. American Moose are subspecies) in the snow on TN before. Well composed shot symbolising steps into 2008! With that I wish you a Happy and prosperous New Year!

Hello Pablo and Happy New Year,
Very nice capture with almost a black and white feel. You have captured the snow twinkling and I like the composition very much. Yes moose are very dangerous, thanks Pablo.

Hi Pablo,

A calm winter scenery following the steps of the moose in the snow with the forest in the background. A good photo to end the year 2007 and the steps meaning going foward with year 2008. I wish to you and your family a Happy New Year 2008.

Hello Pablo,
What a great shot, well composed, your left with a cense of wondering were his journey started, and were will it end,? I guess the same could be said for all of us, love your work, all the best for the New Year Cheers Rick :)

Fascinating image! Wonderful how the tracks meander through the photo...very attractive element. :)

Hello Pablo,
This is wonderful picture. Simple composition but with great impact. An artistic presentation. Wishing you a Happy New Year 2008.

Hi Pablo

the random wanderings of animals and birds in the snow is really great and you have shown them really well here. The diagonal composition and dark BG at the top work really well against the snow and the bottom right hand corner.

Happy New Year

Hi Pablo,
Let's hope that it would be easier to get our dreams come true for us than for the moose! :-)
Anyway, the landscape you show us is a perfect example of optimism!
Have a happy new year,

Pablo,
First of all a big big THANK YOU for 'teaching' me, a lot of the things I know today, for the last 2 years. You are the,"THE" best.
We have a lot of moose & other wild life here in Alberta. They are not dangerous at all. In fact, very friendly.
Great image.
Mario, wishing you & your loved ones a HAPPY HAPPY 2008.

Happy New Year Pablo "2008"
I guess it's January 1st already were you live. I hope 2008 brings many wonderful photographic adventures.

I think the moose have have been into some fermented berries by the crooked tracks :D. I love the deep blue colour of the tracks against the snow.

Hello Pablo

This is my kind of shot! We even get the odd Moose in Ottawa,the capital city of Canada.They wander in from a local forest,and the people who consider themselves urbane hate it because it goes on the TV News and they think Ottawa will be considered back woods.LOL,They should consider themselves lucky that wildlife still exists in the wilds around the city.
I love the Moose path,it leads the eye through the shot.The snow has lovely sparkles too.
Moose can be very dangerous to motorists too,they can crush the roofs of the car that hits them and kill the occupants.Happens quite frequently here.
Anyway I really enjoy your Moose walk shot.
TFS

Hello Pablo,
It has been a great year sharing and enjoying beautiful nature shots of different parts of the world. Although I joined only by the middle of the year.
We too have the menace of, not mooses, but blue bulls (Boselaphus Tragocamelus) in our gardens. They too, some times, become aggressive and attack, may be out of fear only.
Regards and Very Best wishes for the New Year 2008.

I would be fascinated to see one, but then common sense often deserts me. I have followed bears in Yosemite as they raided trash cans, before when I was in jr. high (so stupid).

Hello Pablo,

The track in the snow about the totally picture is exactly a small river.
Nice contrasted with the black background.
Very well done. Healthy 2008.

Best regards,
John.

Hi Pablo,

Great vision for the coming days...
Walk to the heights !!!
EXCELLENT SHOT.
All the best, dear friend.

Hello Pablo. You have capitalized on this snow white field very well with the path captured in brilliant perspective and depth. The dark background looks like leading to infinity. Well done. Jusni
