Thanks Ariana - about a mile from my birth home. I was walking toward the Church carrying a Canon EOS Rebel XT with a 28-80 mm lens -the owl appeared to ignore me then swerved away as I photographed it. My brother lives in the village nearby. We had a three week visit coming back from a job in Vietnam.

Great photo! I love that you not only caught the owl, but the amazing landscape behind.
