Swallows Flying Low Over Forest Water

Swallows Flying Low Over Forest Water

Three swallows flying low over calm water, with the green forest reflected behind them. A brief observed moment where movement, water and woodland come together in a quiet summer scene.

This may not be the most technically perfect photograph, but I like how it caught the swallows following one another: the first and last with their wings raised, and the middle bird in the opposite phase. There was a little drizzle that evening at Storbäcken in Älvdalens Municipality, Dalarna. We also caught around ten trout there, which certainly did not make the outing any worse.
