Heron & Tiller
Posted by Richard Irwin (Belper, United Kingdom) on 23 December 2008 in Miscellaneous.
Seventh image of a little set of 'cameo' images from time I spent living on a boat at Newark on Trent. All the following are little random images of bit of things - funnels, ropes, kettles, pales etc, that I hope gives a little flavour to the visual world of living on the water.

The herons on your side of the pond must be more accustomed to having camera toting humans around. I'm still trying to get a shot like this! Very well done.

I guess one of my favorite birds - and said to be of the highest intelligence despite the prehistoric looks. Love how the bird relates to the tiller in the shot !

@Ronnie 2¢: Thanks...it was like they were trying to ignore each other by looking in opposite directions

The heron and the tiller look the same; each facing the opposite direction! I guess nature and steel would never stay good friends!

@Shirin Moosavi: Thanks.. It was a moment where a strange kind of symmetry appeared, so I grabbed my camera.

I really like how the neck of the heron and the tiller are mirrored, very nice.
Merry Christmas...to you and yours
