Hi Dave so you tell me that you really know this part of the state of Zurich? It's about 3 kilometers away from the place where I live. Amazing how small the world is if you participate on PDML!
I saw about a dozen swans this morning and tried to catch two of them flying over the church but sadly had no success with the manual zoom and slow film. That shot would have made my day! I got four other shots from the same morning.
