Flight Path HFF

Flight Path HFF
Winter sun casts long shadows as a Mute Swan uses Totney Drove on the Somerset Levels for a flight path to eventually join a group that were already feeding in a field behind and to the right of me, another smaller group are in a field distant left.

Large for detail please

Open Street map disagrees with itself, on the map it's Totney Drove which is how I have always known it but in the description it says Kid Gate Drove which I feel sure is incorrect.

For the Sight and Sound Group, it can only be Country Road, James Taylor and Carole King, www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBWu37Fzi70

Hi Roger

I really like this winter scene

Superb colours and lighting!

Best Wishes, HFF, and a very Happy New Year

Thank you Peter, the road surface and the continually moving ground do not lend themselves to speed, so slow and steady it is.

A very belated HFF Roger...............but worth wating for, as this is just gorgeous!

The light is lovely...........and I like the hint of colour along the horizon under the beautiful pastel sky. I like the long shadows on the runway - sorry, road too! The swan is the icing on the cake!

Great work my friend.

More generous comments that are really appreciated Keith, I use a discontinued Sony zoom lens that was panned by the critics because of it's low light performance but lucky enough it just seems to work for me,

On the road again... Such a lovely perspective inclines one to drop everything... A subversive vision, therefore, worthy of the greatest road-movies... ,-)
