One of the more aggressive swans on the model Boating Lake on The New Brighton Promenade building up speed to chase off another poor swan. The way it was acting made it look like an old galleon in full sail.

No wonder if the other one tried to hang around his partner. Humans - a high percentage :) - will do the same. Good post, with good clarity and colours, Steve.

You sure caught a good one here Steve. I wonder about the why's of this behaviour. ?? Saddens me and do hope the poor swan will be ok. Swans are my favorite! Elegance in the water and kind of cumbersome looking on dry ground. =^^= Sandi

It does seem to be on a misson evetS. It reminded me of a favorite song of mine. It is a classic and I love the history behind it. Good post.

Enjoy.

What kind of light bulbs does that swan take to light up like that? LOL. That is one terrific shot, Steve.

Terrific light in this Steve, you caught the beautiful wing structure perfectly. It does look like a ship in full sail.
