Shuangshi Creek Park

     Many of my photos were taken in Shuangshi Park, but I've posted most of them among photos of birds.  Here are a few exceptions.

     I frequently see birds keeping company with fishermen.  Sometimes they're waiting for the fisherman to throw away a catch he considers too small to keep.  In the photos below, however, I saw no indication, that the little egrets and black-crowned night herons were waiting for a meal.

     Below is a single black-crowned night heron keeping company with a fisherman.  Only a few years ago, I found it impossible to get close enough to a night heron to get a clear photograph.  Now it's easy.

Mao Kong Gondola, South of Taipei

     Mao Kong Gondola is probably the most overrated tourist attraction in Taiwan.  A couple of months ago, my wife cajoled me into going for a ride on it.  We took our sixteen-year-old dog Lai An, a part poodle. Any other comments would be a waste of words.  Here are some of the photos:

     Lai An has traveled to numerous other places in the Taipei area.  For more photos of Lai An's travels, click here.
