Artist's Comments

Let's face it--when it comes to dealing with winter, most birds seem an awful lot smarter than humans. Instead of griping about the weather, they simply head for a warmer climate. There are also humans that try to migrate, but running from yourself, that’s mighty far to run. Where ever you go, there you are.

Why migrate? Because it gets boring shivering in the dark. And because it's bleak in the winter. And because there's nothing to eat. And because the ancestors did it.

Birds can fly higher than Mt. Everest. Bar-headed geese have been recorded flying across the Himalayas. (Note: birds don't fly this high just to get in the Guinness Book of Records, but rather to reach their destinations efficiently. From radar studies, scientists know that birds can change altitudes to find the best wind conditions. To fight a headwind, most birds stay low, where ridges, trees and buildings slow the wind. To ride a tailwind, they get up high where the wind is as fast as possible.)

How high can we fly?

whoa! :worship: This is one hell of a picture! The sky is fantastic, the sea gulls or whatever fit extremly well into it and put a dynamic touch to it. The lighting is fantastic (did you use flash on the boat?), angle is cool. I may repeat myself, but you might like it anyway: :worship: ;)

Being a photographer is so much more than catching amazing moments, it's what you add to the moment that makes you a photographer.
