Flock of feathers

Hi Hems, Mooie foto. Bij deze stuur een kort verhaal over hoe "dom" ganzen werkelijk zijn. Helaas is dit in het engels. “Do we Have as Much Sense as a Goose?” Next spring, should you see geese heading back north for the summer flying along in a “V” formation, you might be interested in knowing what scientists have discovered about why they fly that way. It has been learned that as each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in a “V” formation, the whole flock adds at least 71 percent greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own. Basic Truth: People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the trust of another. Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go alone and quickly gets back into formation to take the advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front. Basic Truth: If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who are headed the same way we are going. When the lead goose gets tired, he rotates back in the wing and another goose flies the point. Basic Truth: It pays to take turns doing hard jobs. The geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed. Basic Truth: We need to be careful what we say when we honk from behind. Finally, when a goose is sick and falls out, two geese fall out of formation and follow him down to help and protect him. They stay with him until he is either able to fly or he is dead, and then they launch out on their own or with another formation to catch up with their group. Final Truth: If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other.

Zeer aangename opname weinig in beeld en toch veel zien gr Leen

Mooie lege foto, weer het voorbeeld van less is more, althans als de foto goed is, dat is deze zeker, super! Groeten, Marco.

Prachtig gedaan... heb dat ook al dikwijls in beeld willen brengen... maar lukt mij niet welke diafragma en sluitertijd heb je gebruikt? Zeer mooie kader en leuke titel! Gr Marina

prachtige foto heerlijk al die vogels ganzen lijken het groeten marian

Hoi Hems, Ondanks dat er op de foto eigenlijk weinig te zien valt is het toch een boeiende foto die de aandacht trekt. ;-) Het gekozen kader vind ik ook wel fraai. groetenJos
