There is nothing like a bench to rest your weary legs (or wings)

Great composition and the textures in the bench are superb. As for the main attraction, apart from realising that they can actually stay still, I never knew they were these gorgeous colours before. This is a stunner Keith.

Gar nicht so einfach Schwalben am Boden zu fotografieren, da sie ja meistens in der Luft sind. Ein blaues Federkleid bei Schwalben habe ich noch nicht gesehen. Großartige Aufnahme, Keith!
