Return of the Swans

51 photographs. Today while driving to Luleå, I spotted a guy standing at the edge of an opening on a frozen lake, fishing! Naturally I had to pull over and take a photo. That is when I noticed that the swans had returned. There were several standing along the edge of the ice and others floating around in the water. As I stood there two of the swans began to flap their wings and prepare to fly away. I was able to capture them running across the water and taking off. Then they turned toward me and made a beautiful pass. The sun behind me lit up their wings against a fantastic blue sky. Later in the day, while driving home, I stopped to capture the sunset and a few more swans flew away.
