Thank you !What a nice shot Annna. And I like the weater the way it is.
That's because i cheated : i added some contrast and some blue to the sky and i brightened the shadows on the city buildings.
With a true blue sky the birds would stand out better.
May be i will get it better another time. But this occasion was really rare because the swarm landed right on my roof, so when they departed they were well positionned.
BTW they make an incredible noise when they land and stamp on the roof. When they arrive, i close my window out of fear : they are so numerous that it is really like in the Hitchcock movie.

We took a ride up along the east shore of Cayuga Lake to the Mackenzie-Childs facility, just north of the village of Aurora, NY. The buildings, grounds and products that they craft all have an Alice in wonderland feeling. If they would paint the brick road that winds through the property yellow the picture would be complete. All shot with E-M5II and 12-40 Pro.
Entrance to the main office, shop, and studios.
View to the studios behind the duck pond.
The old farm house (now offices) with Cayuga Lake in background.
The residence (elaborate barn) for sheep, geese, and peacocks.
Some of the residents sunbathing out back.
Took a peek through a window in the old tea house (now storage) to see some of the products.
and an old hardware store in Aurora that has seen better days long ago.

Thanks for the kind words BigLouis and Marlof.
Those are "from my windows" shots. Next October there will be ten years that I live in this home, but I'm still taking pictures of the castles and the city.. Each time I see some interesting light or some little event, I run upstairs to take a few shots of that postcard view. Different seasons, different weather, different parts of the day.. It is incredible how much variations one can find in the same place.
I could design a book only with those pictures of the two castles and may be get rewarded by the tourist office . There is an album showing a few ones in my Flickr account : https://flickr.com/photos/43837038@N02/sets/72157662351955853
I try to refrain posting too many shots of the same scene here, not wanting to bore others with my obsession.

I like different shots of the same scene, it adds to the understanding of the effect of the circumstances. Keep them coming!
