I think that's a black kite in the sky and the water's flat so I'm guessing it's a lake so it must be...er

Ah, well I remember seeing the dhows in Mombasa, so took a wild-assed guess! But the Kenyan flag on the stern also helps a little...

Wildlife photography? Oooh dunno - the nearest I got was photographing Marsik the Cat at the dacha. Though she has blimmin sharp claws! But at another guess - a veeeeeeeeeeeeery long lens to keep as far away as possible from anything that might have teeth would seem a good idea.

Seriously, though, I guess a long lens, with a reasonably wide maximum aperture - after that I guess it's a matter of positioning, stalking, waiting, camouflaging... and waiting... and waiting...

The third Calanque west of Cassis, looking south-ish.

Tell me more - it's been many years....

We went in in June this year. At the time it was blowing a F6 easterly and there weere no anchorers there! the swell penetrated right inside and it was pretty much untenable, particularly as the tripper boats were swarming in and out.

 

[Jobs_a_ good_ un]

We stayed there for about 4-5 days tied up to the cliffs with the cliff jumpers right behind us was great
we also entered in a force 5-6 swell was ok not many boats out i think the med fench stay at home in a blow
Heres a reminder of the other Clanques

'It was a long time ago, and far away...' and I was down that way with current GF. I'd qualified as a sports diver - SSAC Class 2 or summat - and had dived only in cold, grey northern sea-lochs.

Took opportunity to dive with one of the Cassis schools in those limestone Calanques and had an immediate religious conversion! There was light and colour! And fish! You could see further than the end of your arm.....

I never dived in cold, grey, northern sea-lochs again.
