The beauty of nature - a photo on Flickriver

            Already 1 year ago I went to the Grevelingen in the Netherlands to finally see a group of flamingos that hibernate here. It was on my list for years but the weather was always an obstacle to go there because it is a long drive from my home and predictions were most of the time too unstable. But this day the predictions were unclouded for the whole day.

So although it was rather cold, I stayed there the whole day, making shot after shot, and although I didn't plan to stay there I finally waited for the sunset to create this wonderful extra pink on the feathers. I guess I came home with ca 500 shots of a group of flamingos that first were sleeping for a few hours, and then started to awaken and show their natural behaviour in the hours that followed. 

A wonderful experience!
