.. makin' lazy circles ...

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!
