Fox at Amsterdamse Waterleiding Duinen

This was my reward for the day. It took many hours to find this fox at the Amsterdamse Waterleiding Duinen. I was happy to capture it just chilling next to the path, but it was already leaving after a minute. Just before it did, it turned its head and stared back into the sun, giving me good light for this shot.

Haha, his favorite spot next to the path.
Wonderful portrait. The sun gives its fur a wonderful golden look :)

  So I take it they're always roughly at the same location? Should have known that earlier :) Posted 11 years ago

Lovely - I've never seen a fox in the wild (though my in-laws had one coming round to their house begging for scraps, so I've seen photos. They live in a pretty rural place) Posted 11 years ago
