Ellebelle from Mosquito Town, Netherlands

Great picture :-)))
Crossing that road ........ probably in no hurry at all ..........
Superb depth because of the yellow line and electricity poles!!

27 May 2013 6:48am

@Ellebelle: No, they are never in a hurry. Thanks for your comment.

Ronnie 2¢ from Atlantic Shores, United Kingdom

They look to have stooped to argue about whether it is safe to cross or not. Here, we have 'pelican' and 'zebra' crossings . . but never a 'goose' crossing !!

27 May 2013 7:41am

@Ronnie 2¢: You are correct--they often stop in the middle to discuss which side of the road to head for, or whether the road itself is their destination. Zebra and Pelican???

d.apskos from Orléans, France

Belle image.
J'aime ces instantanés pris sur le vif.

Brenda from Canton, United States

Love the bored expression on the last goose - who seems to be saying "you'll just have to wait until we cross this road". Beautiful curves in the road and yellow line and the telephone poles.

27 May 2013 11:00pm

Tom Whelan from United States

Love the composition (position of the poles and the geese) and the wide angle look. Nice light as well.

Belle image et bravo

30 May 2013 4:19pm
