Picture perfect, Roadside

Click on picture to see full size version.

This picture speaks for itself. It was taken by the roadside behind the Montrose Basin which is a large inlet of water in Montrose, Angus, Scotland, where geese and other wild birds nest, breed and stay over winter. It was taken winter 2007 and is shown here exactly as it was taken, not edited in any way. The sky really did look that way
