Sinking of the Fireball... — (FIRST FEBRUARY SUNSET)

            ꒌ   УТОНУЋЕ ВАТРЕНЕ ЛОПТЕ - Два минута пред астрономски залазак сунца. У овом правцу 240 km иза хоризонта су Кале и канал Ла Манш. Сунце неће утонути овде право надоле, како чудан ефекат преласка боје сугерише, него ће се ’откотрљати’ косо удесно до зграде са равним кровом, под углом од око 45°.

► ▓░█    TAKEN TWO MINUTES BEFORE THE ASTRONOMICAL SUNSET at 17:28 at 243°. This was captured at 17:26:24. The strange color pattern effect of the sinking Sun is not 'manufactured' in post, it is there in the raw file, produced by the lens itself. Behind the Sun, across De Biesbosch nature resort on the horizon, some 240 km from the lens as the crow flies lies Calais guarding the Strait of Dover.

Was it not for this mighty telephoto lens (which I purchased to use in the mountains), I would probably never have payed attention to the life and behavior of birds. A general rule in the Lowlands is that birds get really euphoric at the sunrise and sunset, and very lively during half an hour after the sunset. The seemingly random pattern of the flight that this flock exhibits is not accidental. Nor is it instinctive. It is a pure collective art statement. I have seen it many times – especially crows can perform incredible stunts (these are not the crows but probably geese). I even dare say that those creatures are more receptive of the natural beauty and phenomena than the average humans.
