Mayflies at Sunset
OK, so I put my face into the swarms of flies here, but it was worth it. When the light is right (evening sun!) they are bright. I think this is called 'backlighting', i.e. the flies are between me and the sun, so the light comes through their wings. There's lots of image here, so it's WORTH A LOOK IN LARGE!
By "worth it" I suppose I'm implying that it's unpleasant to be in a swarm of flies. I imagined it would be, but it actually wasn't - it was nice. They weren't interested in me; they weren't biters. Nice to just stand among them and watch them dance.
