Photo of the day: Newly hatched Cygnets usher in start of summer
A pair of recently hatched cygnets walk along the water’s edge at the Abbotsbury Swannery near Weymouth, England on May 11. The Benedictine Monks who maintained the Abbotsbury Swannery from 1000 AD up to the 1540s believed the first cygnet hatching of the spring, which usually occured between mid-May and late June, signaled the official start of summer.
This is the sunset as seen from Hong Kong Island. It was shot with a Nikon F3HP and Velvia 50 film.
I love to travel with my camera capturing moments, light, nature, and architecture. I have been shooting more exclusively with film ever since I lost my digital camera 2 years ago. Most of my earlier photos have been shot with a Nikon F3HP SLR but more recently, I’ve been relying on my quick and portable Olympus XA rangefinder. On my tumblr you will find photos from the cities I’ve traveled to/lived in and the roads in between.
