Golden opportunity

Spotted a Golden Eagle today. It was sitting on a mountain top while the snow was pouring down. A lot of "sneakiness" and battling in knee-deep snow paid off. I guess we both got surprised. Suddenly it was sitting only ten meters in front of me. My 500mm lens became almost a bit too much ;)
