Nothing speaks more to the change of seasons than the great bird migrations, and we love to tell this story in photographs.  I found this interesting/amusing photograph by Fabian Bimmer for Reuters that tells a twist on that story. Swans from Hamburg’s inner-city lake Alster are migrating to their winter home – only they are transported there by boat and really seem to be enjoying the ride.  The only thing that would be better is if they were being carried off by one of Boston’s famous “Swan Boats.”  But their removal is also a sure sign of impending winter.
