There are about 10,000 swans here at Long Point on Lake Erie at the moment. In late afternoon, flocks fly over our headquarters at about 100 feet off the ground. I took this yesterday afternoon in the last hour before sunset.

A beautiful shot. In a perfect world all of their wings would be at the same position but this is excellent still.

Excellent symmetry. The positions in the frame are really nice. 8)
