Swan Prom 7th Sept 2021

Post by Carbon60 »

Checking back on some images I captured earlier this week I found this one. For a bit of fun and on the theme of solar prominences in the shape of animals... it looks very much like a swan on a lake complete with its reflection :lol:

Hi Stu,

I captured the same but rotated it to the horizontal and called it ‘Usain Bolt’.

Swan still works for me.

Very nice prom, he reminded me (if you turn the picture) the head of an elephant with a trunk.

Unfortunately not. Just this one. As you say, it would have been fascinating.

I am thinking “ The Swan “ by Camille St. Saens or “ The Beautiful Blue Danube “ by Johann Strauss II 🎼 🦢
