The Selva of Paliano is an area of 1063 acres. The Bird Park was created in 1974 thanks to the intuition and the engagement of Prince Antonello Ruffo di Calabria, brother of the Queen of Belgium: Her Majesty Paola Ruffo di Calabria. The park is equipped with bars, restaurants, nursery garden trails, horses and bicycles, games. There are approximately two hundred species of birds from all over the world, some rare or endangered. I'll post some more pictures of this splendid place about 6 km from my home.

I like the cloud reflections in the lake, the mountain in the distance and the way the lake is surrounded by the trees...Very beautiful picture

Ed - A pristine and beautiful scene. This photo has so many attributes - framing, clarity, colors, reflections, balance being a few. Wonderful work here! Thad

Great natural framing bottom and right. And the reflection of that cloud pattern is perfect. Well done, my friend.

The very still crystaline water really sets this shot off so well - just gorgeous.

The first thing that I loved in this photo is how still the water is, it looks like a sheet of glass! And the whole area is absolutely beautiful. What a wonderful place to visit and spend some time at. I love how you captured the whole place as the main interest instead of focusing on the building itself. I would love to see it too, but the framing you've done here is just wonderful. I hope we'll get to see some of the birds too. This is just magnificent Ed. Verena

This reminds me of a scene in Colorado, USA, just below Mt. Evans. Beautiful image with great colors, sky, and reflections.

It appears to be a place anyone would love to to visit EDV. A great job with the composition and FDR. A reason you are our AOTM.

There are so many shots through trees but this is a fine example of using them as part of the framing of the scene. They build the frame down the side and across the bottom instead of just an odd branch intruding. Good focal coverage and color.
