Report: The FAA is studying the feasibility of modeling future air travel on bird behavior utilizing new flexible aircraft structure designs and airports without runways.
Well, O.K. you may not see that headline in your morning paper anytime soon, but it's hard to argue that mother nature has a far more efficient system for getting her "aircraft" into flight rapidly. I captured these Black Skimmers in this mass departure on Miami's South Beach early one Sunday morning. Unlike the gulls and terns, the skimmers have a much larger "comfort" zone. Here they were startled by a hotel employee moving some lounges out for the day's visitors.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
