For several years now I have been out in nature to observe the small, beautiful kingfisher and, if possible, to photograph him. I need a lot of patience because the magnificent blue shimmering bird is extremely small and clever. So I tried countless times to get as close to it as possible, but mostly failed. Last year the winter was so cold that the snow stayed on the trees for longer, which created the best conditions for capturing the beautiful blue of the delicate bird with my camera. After many ice-cold mornings spent outside, I finally managed to photograph the kingfisher where I think it looks most beautiful, on a snow-covered tree. After this considerable effort, I was so grateful to have encountered the most colorful and beautiful bird in my area in its kingdom.
I hope you like this picture with my personal favorite bird. If you consider that there are still about 500 pairs of kingfishers in the whole of Switzerland, then I must be more than happy to have encountered one out there in the beautiful nature of my homeland.
It doesn’t matter how smart, rich or influential you are. What I care about is how you treat animals.
The most powerful language lies in the eyes of animals.
"Blackbirds flew in and to the cooling towers
I’ll pack my bags
Thinking of one of those hours
With you, waiting for you
My God, it takes an ocean of trust
In the Kingdom of Rust"

... è che a me piace tanto questa cosa di confrontarsi sulle foto proprie ed altrui, condividendo le suggestioni e le emozioni (ammesso che si riesca a provocarne).
il che, a volte, scaturisce nella scelta di musica come colonna sonora di scatti altrui.
come in questo caso dove Giulia mi ha fatto conoscere i Doves.
grazie!

Let it intertwine
Your hand in mine
And fill the empty space
All the demons cry
Cause you and I
Found love in a broken place...
