At first they where curious, then the became very upset and noisy and then... they attacked me very fierce. Some say that ancient Rome was several times saved from Gaul attacs by the geese and I think these legends may be correct...

Great!!! Yes,it's correct,geese defended cities,in Belgium too!I know the story of a little village near Liège:Visé,where there were geese to give alarm...And one night,they did not,the village was attacked and destroyed...the geese were killed by the angry people of the village,but,they were quickly bored by the way of cooking the geese,so,they used a new way of cooking,with cream and garlic,and that is still knowed as "oie à la mode de Visé"...delicious,I confirm!!! smile

Thanks for the nice comment Sarah. These geese live in a castle pond near Tongeren (Tongres) and according to the local fisherman very peacefull. Think it was my camera.
Kind regards,

Jaak Bellen.

And the shot is excellent with great details and general tones. I very like the composition and the expressions taken!
