Photo: Snowy Owl Blastoff

Photographer: Morris Altman

Date Taken:
January 6, 2022

Description:
The owl had landed on the top of a rather ugly sand control fence on a beach on the South Shore of Long Island. I waited for it to blast off and I captured the owl in bright sun with a dark cloud in the background.
