Description
The Sindarin title refers to those crow-like birds of Dunland and Fangorn on Middle-Earth, that flew in great flock to spy the Fellowship of the Ring through they way to Mullin. When I was to shoot blue hour images of Badacsony and Lake Balaton at Szigliget, suddenly a great flock of crows appeared from West and darted over me to East with loud noise and swirling flight. First I thought they're starlings, but they weren't. I never saw so many crows in a single flock and they were quite scary with the unearthily red sky that is not so rare at Lake Balaton, but always a marvel. As an established Tolkien fan my first thought was of the Crebain and I listened to the wind wether I hear Saruman's voice of weather spell. I didn't. When I set up my gear the main body of the flock already flewn away, and what you can see here is the backguards. Even this is huge.

This image is taken at yacht port of Szigliget, near Badacsony, by the Lake Balaton in Hungary , Europe. That place is the cultural anchor of the area that had major role in Hungarian painters' history—a kind of Arcadia in the Balaton Uplands.
