When Geese Attack: A Photographer's Tale

in goose •  4 months ago 

My former neighbors, a nice family with a very kind old lady, raised geese. One day I was allowed to take pictures of the geese, but one goose in particular didn't like that. It tried to chase me away with a kind of hissing, and then suddenly lunged at me. I think this photo is the best one from that day.

Just as the goose lunged, I managed to snap this photo before ending up on my backside. It must have been quite a sight.

The photo was taken with my old Minolta and later scanned.
