I did not expect to come face to face with a swan during an early morning walk at an urban retention pond in the midst of parking lots and tall office buildings.
another proof of that the camera should always be with you at anytime great composition, we have some swans here this winter and as there is no ice they can move around free
What a beautiful surprise that must have been!
