Friday's Focus - Landscapes that include Wildlife

[JimFox]

This weeks Friday's Focus will be Landscapes that include Wildlife.

The intent is not for wildlife photos, but photos where the wildlife are merely an element in the landscape.

For me, this is a tougher one as I rarely come across wildlife in the first place, but I do have a few that I can start this with.

Two of my favorites...

1) Hayden Valley in Yellowstone with some bison lurking around

2) Horses (not really wildlife I guess) in Iceland near Hofn.

Great ones Kyle! Those horses sure count as wildlife in my book.

 

[Darcy Grizzle]

Mine too, Icelandic ponies...they count!

Really nice images, Kyle. My favorite is the second one.

Now I know why it took you so long to get this thread going. You're making it tougher and tougher for me to find appropriate images each week. I thought about putting this one in because these flowers are called MULES EARS. But I didn't think I could get away with that.

So here are a few images from Bosque del Apache that include the landscape.

Fantastic

 

[Jameel Hyder]

This is a tough one. Hopefully this one qualifies.

Love 'em both

Looks like a wild cow to me! Very nice. 15 minutes from where I was born and raised.

 

[AlanLichty]

Hmm - with the inclusion of bovines as wildlife I'll try this one for here:

Navajo horses at the Totem.

I thought the mule's ears were a pretty innovative response

 

[Jim Dockery]

Lots of great shots already. That first one is lovely Jim, looks like you and the deer have the valley to yourselves. I love the icelandic horses Kyle, and those bird shots have so many great layers Doug.

That's pretty, Jim.

 

[Douglas Sherman]

That's really nice, Jameel. I couldn't find any animals for a long time but eventually found the cow. I think it qualifies.

I was fortunate to be a landscape photographer on an African safari. Most everyone in the group was interested in closeups of the creatures, and I did a lot of that. But I wanted to see the animals in their environments. I recently posted my award winning zebra/acacia image on another thread here, so I will show some others from my trip to Tanzania. Enjoy!
