This swan is riding out the gales that hit Britain on 12th March 2008. It is taking 'shelter' in The Marine Lake at New Brighton, opposite Liverpool. The wind was blowing at 56mph whilst I took this picture.
"Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see." ~Dorothea Lange
This was one really brave swan out there. Well spotted and really good capture!
