It's extraordinary how it really does look like a ballet. Wonderful capture.

Thanks for your kind remarks on my photos. Praise from photographers of your caliber is very encouraging.

I like how those swans seem to converge into one point: the lake.

Thank you for visiting, Eki Akhwan!!

Thanks for visiting and for your coments, JM!!

These are only a small part of the swans we have here, Ann!!
They seem to come all to this area of the lake here, especially towards winter. Probably the water is warmer.

Thank you, Babooshka!!

We wait for you here, Virginia!!
You are always welcome.

This is so lovely. Benjamin is right -- it does look like an actual ballet.

They are so gloriously white. I love the many and varied curving necks.

Thanks, Sharon!!


They were begging for food, Evlahos, and when they saw that there was no food available, they returned quite annoyed to the waterfront.One even hissed to me and bit one of my shoes.
They are beautiful creatures but very big and unpredictable.

Thanks for your visit and your comments, Per!!

Thank you, Laurie!!

The island is waiting for you, Nathalie!!

Thanks, Fredrik!!

Thank you too, Julie!!
