Boat Harbour with Swans I like gray November days along rivers. I captured these images along a distributary of the river Inn, about 50 miles before its confluence with the Danube.
May I confess that I love love love what I see around town?
My Melange, those swans appeared like a fata morgana, so silent and graceful, and fast too! I could hardly take aim with my camera. ;-)
Wandring Star, my father's boat used to be moored there, now my brother's. Yes, those swans are a lovely heartwarming sight.
Charles Gramlich, these boats are owned by local fishermen, from the small farming villages near the river. Several of them are flat-bottomed ones, typical of the area, and called "Zille".
Wow--these are stunning! So moody and dreamy. Fabulous photos! Those trees in the first few shots just look so ephemeral...and I love these swans ready to walk out of the water...
Boat Harbour with Swans
I don't know why I have not kept up with your last four posts, Merisi. I am a follower and usually 'on the ball'.
ReplyDeleteI think the duck is feeling pretty silly and saying'it's too early for all this dressing up for Christmas lark'
Your Vienna is such a beautiful place and your pictures capture it vividly.
I love the Swan Lake balletic poses and the watercolours of the park.
simply lovely. The swans look so graceful!!
ReplyDeleteStupendous images capturing the mood of a calm winter's day. I guess the boats are moored up in their winter berths.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't those swans look simply devoted to each other?
the sheer number of boats is overwhelming. It speaks of a pretty good population.
ReplyDeleteMoannie,
ReplyDeleteyou are right about the duck! :-)

ReplyDeleteWhen I saw your pictures, I thought -
ReplyDeleteJust before the snow flies.
Lovely as usual.
Swans are my favourite of all the water birds. They add that touch of elegance. The frost on the trees provides a beautiful accent to nature.
