Harmony

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted September 20, 2010178 views2 comments

I reckon this photo is perfect for the "Man and nature" gallery.
It shows how man and nature can live side by side in perfect harmony.

Taken from a hide at Talybont reservoir in Wales, UK.

We had to be very quiet in the hide, well, you know how timid those fishermen can be

The swans didn't seem a bit bothered by the fisherman and had just started building a nest which within a short while was quite a heap.

Yes perfect for the M&N gallery. I love the arc of the angler's line.

It's a good thing he didn't have a camera - that would have frightened the swans away for sure.
