The Hawk

I shot this panorama in 2003 while trekking in Point Reyes National Park, which is a part of the US national park system (which is a treasure trove of refuges, including the famous Redwood Forest.)

The highlight of the picture, however, is that little speck in the centre - the moment I saw it, the lyrics from Oklahoma! popped into my head:

Ev'ry night my honey lamb and I
Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk
Makin' lazy circles in the sky

That was exactly what the hawk was doing - riding the air currents, regally gliding around and around as the sun set against the Pacific Ocean. Oh, for a telephoto lens to capture what my eyes saw!

is that tiny speck in the clouds slightly off center, is that the hawk?

Yup! Miniscule, but it appeared much larger in real life. No lens :(
