Beautiful white Swan.

Siberia. Altai. Winter. Last days of January. I am standing on a large modern bridge over the Swan River. A new road bridge (2008) connects the banks covered with real cedar taiga. A beautiful heavenly name was given to this river from the ancient tribe of the Chelkans or in other words the Lebedints (Swan's), who have lived in these places since ancient times. According to legend, the ancestor of this tribe was once a beautiful white swan. I can't tell you how wonderful its character was, but the fiery character of this river is known to everyone, especially to the locals. The crowded of vigour river blew the previous bridge in the spring of 2006. #Siberia #Altai #Winter #January #river #swan #sun #snow #forest #landscape #cedar #taiga #panorama

    Dear KLAWE.
    Thank you for your attention, opinion and emotions.
    I made a deal with myself many times not to do panoramas on film. Often - this is a long time spoiled mood. But every time when a picturesque picture opens up in front of you, which does not fit into the frame, you forget insults, you forget everything .... I think this is ordinary greed ...

    Dear LOMODESBRO.
    Thank you for your attention, opinion and emotions.
    For some reason, I think that is you who are well aware of how many unforgettable sensations remain "overboard" in photography, even 3D panoramas. But maybe soon, very soon, we will be able to register and reproduce the full range of sensations, adjusting the technique to our mood, just as we adjust the white balance today.
