Beautiful swans, love those silhouettes!!

I've never seen a swan anywhere other than floating around in a tranquil pond. This is, indeed, a different view of them. Excellent photo!

I have lived here for over 40 years and I have never seen black swans in the sea!
Great capture, Mieke.

I didn't know they hung out at all in salt water. How cool!

Not a common sighting up here. Works well in B&W.

Love to watch swans as long as they stay off of my yard.

They look very content. I don't remember ever seeing a black swan. V

I love swans. Is that a dead one in the background?
