Moment Before ImpactMoment Before ImpactI love this image of the Caspian Tern just before breaking the water. I can't imagine what is going through its mind as it is laser-focused on the fish and explodes through the water at 30–40 mph. It is spectacular, beautiful, and violent all at once. Freezing the moment is magical.
