Excellent reflexe, Mary!! la composition avec l'antenne est très bonne!!

.. c'est dommage que l'oiseau ne soit pas rose comme l'avion (LOL) #1428882

Mary K. Robison June 04, 2005

Thanks very much for your supportive comments, Sanjay!
I was very fortunate to have spotted the plane a few seconds earlier as I lifted the camera to zoom in on the bird. And the plane was very cooperative to have flown at the exact same diagonal as the tv antenna!!! LOL! #1428883

Mary K. Robison June 04, 2005

Un oiseau rose, Dom? Je ne pense pas que un flamant s'adapterait sur
l'antenne! LOL!
