Bald eagle atop a pole in warm soft light. Shot in Lassen County, California, USA.

---

While out for a recent drive in Lassen County, California, I was blessed to have this bald eagle strike a few poses for me atop this big post/pole. On this particular morning the light was absolutely wonderful in this spot as the sun, slightly to camera right and behind me, was filtering through a huge bank of fog that had formed by near-by Honey Lake. This created sort of a natural soft box to wonderfully light the majestic creature.
