Amsterdam, it's a nest on a tower of an old factory above the playground for children, so funny....

Bonjour, cher ami Hans,
Félicitations pour cette magnifique prise de vue. La cigogne rejoignant son nid est superbement photographiée.
Ses ailes déployées, ses longues pattes en position d’atterrissage ; toute la posture est parfaitement rendue avec une netteté incroyable.
J'admire !
Amitiés.
Philippe

hi, hans!
perfect focus and great choice of shutter speed. the stork's widespread wings and legs that are bent to land are absolutely spellbinding. i also love the title you chose, it really is a beautiful song. :)
regards, olivia

A superb decisive moment shot of the stork about to alight on its nest. Good sharpness & graphism with marvelous blue sky backdrop. A superb minimalist shot with no distracting bg elements. Tfs!

hi Hans
Nice shot very well framed. You've caught it at the right time with excellent sharpness (not so easy). The rendering of motion is very good.

Dag Hans,

Op het goede moment op de juiste plaats.
Het is altijd een wonder hoe deze grote vogel telken jaren naar de zelfde plaats komt na het afleggen van enkele duizende kilometers.
Ooievaars hebben we hier in dicht bij ons te Knokke Zoute.
Komen tot hier in de weilanden voedsel zoeken.
Zeer mooi foto werk met zijn open vleugels.
Bedankt.

Groeten,
John.

Lang lang geleden logeerde ik bij mn tante in het oude stadje Leerdam,het huis was boven de de AH winkel waar mn oom chef was.
Vanuit het raam kijk ik naat het dak van een huis aan de overkant waarop een ooievaarsnest stond,uren kon ik daar al jongetje van een jaar of 10 naar kijken.
Nu en dan kwamen ze aanvliegen en streken ze naeer op het nest.
Deze mooie foto haalt alle herrinneringen weer boven..
Hartelijk dank Hans.
