An enchanted evening in the beginning of January many years ago, I waited for something to happen to the beautiful scenery in front of me. It was very cold and the batteries of the D1X were about to die so I had just the opportunity of a few shots. Then just as the alpenglow peaked at maximum intensity, a gaggle of birds flew into view and positioned themselves perfectly in the frame. I snapped a shot and the camera died on me. This is the outcome.
