This week’s Photo Challenge is Close.
Kayaking around New York Harbor, sometimes we get just a bit too close!
Sometimes we have the upper hand…
… other times clearly not!
My second take on “Close” is here.

Wow, that’s close, especially by the big boats! Great photos!
Fortunately they weren’t moving just then, but still…

Always fantastic photos collections. :P
Something appropriate always comes to mind for these challenges :-)
Oh, that is CLOSE! And scary.
It was no doubt very scary for the goose ;-)
The last one is amazing. Thanks for the ping :)
You are totally welcome!

Excellent examples of close – and a little scary too! http://photoswithfinesse.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/weekly-photo-challenge-close/
Thank you—loved your photos too!

Brilliant 1st shot!
You prefer the first? Good—everyone else prefers the second…
Definitely the 1st!
I love both! The goose looks so scared,I can feel it haha
It would be great to know what the goose feels :-) — that’s a major unsolved problem in philosophy, in fact…
You are (and that goose) are a brave soul! Your photo challenge entries never fail to impress. ; )
Got to keep our readers entertained! ;-)
That second picture is amazing! Great job there!
Thanks, Nando!
amazing shots!
:)
Thanks! Saw your take on “Close”—unique…
I’m sure we’ve all had “close calls.” Nothing like this person, obviously. We wouldn’t be here talking about it.
:(

Wow tat close to the harbour
:-)
I like
Kayak flees barge …
One of many such occasions—but this photo came out just right.
Excellent shots but that second one is definitely a tad too dangerously close. :-)
Would have been if the barge had been moving, for sure!
Right! You did a great job.. Now do you have two blogs or did I click on someone else’s and think it was also yours? :-)
No, just one blog. Must have been someone else’s.
Oops! :-) Now they will wonder why I called them Vladimir! :lol:
They’ll get over it ;-)
Exactly! :-)
wow.. nice pic :)
Thanks so much!
Perfect shots for this challenge!!
Thanks so much! And thank you for following our blog!!
I liked your bug photo too!
Great!
excellent photos. really like the first shot!
Thank you! It was a fun photo to take, for me although probably not for the goose :-)
At least you’re more maneuverable than the tanker ;-)
But it is considerably faster! It reminds me of the Roman gladiatorial contents in which the opponents had quite different but complementary capabilities… (not that we fight to the death, of course—we run away…)
I love th first shot.
:-) Thanks!
Hello Vladimir :), thanks for the pingback. These are spectacular shots!
Thanks, Paula! Love your photos, especially the first one—cool and green…
:) thanks a lot :), the first one happens to be my favourite too. I’ve just remembered your post about heat and was wondering what are the temperatures over there today? Here we are having 36 with humidity and it is only mid-June :(.
In NYC it’s actually been surprisingly cool so far in June (mid- to upper 70s Fahrenheit, around 25 degrees Celsius)—that is, about the normal June temperatures that one would have expected in years past, but we’ve already got into the habit of expecting extreme heat.
Now that I’ve written that, I’ve looked up the predicted temperatures for the rest of this week, and, of course, Wednesday and Thursday are predicted to hit record highs (mid-90s)…
A really very nice collection of pictures. You have really illustrated Close in a very creative manner//veronika
Thank you, Veronika! Yes, something always suggests itself…

Haha, brilliant as always, Vlad :)
Have to do the best with what I have! :-)
The second one looks scary…
It’s like passing by a giant bear sleeping by the path… you know he’s asleep, but still…
I like your bugs – I always like bugs – but think the two photos here are unique moments, especially the bird. Well caught for that one and I’m glad the second did not catch you.
The first was definitely a unique moment… they don’t usually allow me to get that close! I think this goose was in denial until the last moment.
The second… well, it’s a matter of knowing very well what we can do and what we can’t…

Wow! What else can I say? Love both pics :)
Thanks for the ping
You are most welcome! Your photos were of bugs—like my other “Close” photo. We bug people have to stick together ;-)
Wow Vladimir, did you escape that big boat by flying away like the bird in the first picture?
More or less! We certainly try to do that. In this case it was helped by the fact that the big boat wasn’t moving, just then….
Wonderful shots – the goose taking flight is amazing!
They don’t usually allow me to get that close… that one was complacent! I could see what was going to happen eventually, so I got my camera ready…

Hi Vladimir, I love your clever take on “close” and “too close!”
Thanks, Naomi!
I especially like the goose, which I think it is.
Yes, Canada Goose.
