Part of a huge flock of Canadian Geese gliding in for a landing on our lake. (5 years and 3105 days ago)

jerostone says:

Wagner! A masterpiece, although a bit reminiscent of good old Adolph! Uplifting, no doubt! I remember marching to it, on my way to the dentist

author says:

Yeah, Wagner rocks! It's a shame Hitler liked him so much as he gets a bum rap through association. That song always reminds me of the scene in Apocolypse Now, and these geese kind of reminded me of the helicopters approaching the beach.

jerostone says:

Dead right, author, and yes, most people associate it with Francis Ford's masterpiece. And for sure I wasn't joking about one thing; it is uplifting! I just love listening to it.

U know when guess fly they form a "V" correct... u know why one line is longer then the other? ........................... *drum roll*................... there is more geese in one line then there is the other. LMAO

Howdie stranger!
