Crow

Very often I find it difficult to photograph crows – but this time I think I succeded. So here is the crow in autumn-light.

Swans in Roskilde

To day the weather was very fine. My wife an I had a walk in Roskilde. At the harbour we saw two swans. And two more. Suddenly one of these birds found the others to be too close – or what the motive was. An attack was started, the two escaped and order was reestablished.

Here is one of the shots.

And here is a slideshow of the photos. Just as they were shot.

Summer in October

The danish summer was rainfull – second most rainfull in more than 100 years.

Today, the first day in October, we have had a very pleasant day in Denmark. No day in October has ever been as warm as today (26.5 degree Celsius), og we have never has a “summerday” (25 degree) in October before.  Next week will be more autumn-like.

Photo of the Year 2009

Pigeon
In this connection I have decided the photo of the pigeon is my photo of 2009.
3 seconds before the pigoen flew from a tree. I like this photo because of the body language of the pigeon. It is as if the head is turned a little and the eye looks directly at me. I know pigoens don’t think, but here it looks like the bird is thinking: Does he shoot me or is he just shooting me.
Or – what do you think the pigoen thinks?
Here is a link to the photo taken the moment the pigeon left the tree.
