Nile goose on 'Rotsvast' made by Rob Ligtvoet in Flevopark Amsterdam

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: I came across this geese family while bringing my son home from daycare.

Nile goose numbers in dutch cities have increased steadily over the last 40 years and they have become a common sight in Amsterdam.

The father goose uses the artwork 'Rotsvast' -that was secretly placed in the park by its maker Rob Ligtvoet more than 30 years ago- as his observation post, in search of danger, or just for the pretty view. The amount of debris on top of the bronze gives away that it has been his favourite lookout spot for a while already.
Nederlands: Deze nijlganzenfamilie kwam ik met mijn zoontje tegen in het Flevopark in Amsterdam. De nijlganzenman staat op de uitkijk op het bronzen beeld 'Rotsvast' dat de amsterdamse kunstenaar Rob Ligtvoet vele jaren geleden stiekem op deze plaats heeft neergezet. Hij gebruikt het beeld al tijdje als zijn favoriete uitkijkpost zo te zien, want er ligt al een flinke laag ganzenpoep op!

The photo was made with a Sony XZ1 compact smartphone, with most settings on auto. After making the picture, the exposure was slightly corrected and the contrast was a bit enhanced.
