Arctic foxes drinking

Gallery: WildlifePosted October 25, 20062,445 views20 comments

Yesterday I launched my new website. I restyled it a bit and it contains some new shots as well. One of the new shots that is on it is this shot of these arctic fox babies drinking. From all the arctic fox photographs this is one of my favorites. It was shot after a long night of photography in one of the fjords in Svalbard (Spitzbergen) and certainly a night to remember. Hope you like it as well.

Hi Jasper,
another delightful photo...they are sooo cute

Your new website is very fine, my only critique regards the text in JPEG format, it does not help with position in search engines.

Hi Juza,

Thanks for your comments on my photograph and website. All my pages have META tags, so I don't need my texts to be in textformat. This way I am able to use fonts that are not available on every PC. Search engines will find me using the head-tags.

Cheers!

Wonderful Capture!
in fact its perfect!

I watched a special on TV about Svalbard, mainly on Polar Bears. but the Arctic Foxes they showed were white. I assume they turn white in the winter. do you have any white ones?

Wonderfully cute foxes!

You might want to put in ALT attributes in the imagemap AREA tags and also in the main IMG tag to help out Google; Google ignores META tags completely. If you don't want tooltips popping up in IE, also add in TITLE="" attributes.

I'm in the process of re-doing my site also. I only hope it's half as impressive as yours. BS
