I feel invited to come and visit you. I am pretty sure you gave me the correct directions. ;)
Man, that was quite a situation to get this picture taken. I can feel for you. Not easy to stay cool while the crowds are busy and you don't want to mess up the shot. So, having had this situation you did a good job on capturing the owl. I now much more appreciate it, Señor :)

P.S. Parking indeed can be mystical
