Thanks! If there was no enbankment, you could see the place where James Bond in "a quantum solace" clowned about in that open air opera...

Schwäne im Flug sind immer elegant, allein schon wegen der Geschwindigkeit.

Terrific capture, tack sharp!

Thanks, Betty! I tried to catch a few frames with the swan in perfect focus. Unfortunately of course the very best shot included a building crane in the skyline, and those with only pretty buildings in them turned out less great. One of Murphys special laws for photographers.... LOL
