Sorry snake-haters but I could not resist. I find them very fascinating and I had the macro lens in my bag when I visited Skansen this Sunday. But I promise, no more snakes in the blog. I think.
Edit: A thick protective glass, Nikon and drama & vintage filter.

They are beautiful! Thanks for your consideration to our feelings, but enjoy your freedom to post what you want. Thanks so much, Ullis! 🙂
I love that wording – “enjoy your freedom to post what you want”! I will do that! Thanks for your encouragement. 🙂

Your lens captured some very intriguing details.
Yes, with the lens (and a glass shield) I got very close.
Give us more! Fina mönster och färger, läckra bilder.
Ok, I might give you a rattlesnake later on!
Great shots, what a strange tip on the head, what is it?
Here in Australia snakes are everywhere and part of life. I have been chased by Tiger Snakes 4 times in my life and escaped every time thankfully. Even here in Melbourne snakes are common.
It’s a Vietnamese longnose snake (Rhynchophis boulengeri).
Have you been chased by a snake?! Can they be so aggressive? Sounds scary. Here in Sweden we have only three snake species and only one is poisonous (not deadly poisonous).
I saw a Taipan at the aquarium too, but the pic got too blurred.
