Gaggle of geese stand in pasture near the village of Edlitz in Lower Austria
A gaggle geese stand in a pasture near the village of Edlitz, in Lower Austria, some 75 km (47 miles) south of Vienna November 7, 2012. Austrian farmers Johann and Maria Reisenbauer have been raising geese organically for the traditional Martin Goose (Martini Gansl) dinner in celebration of St. Martin for the past eight years. The feast of St. Martin of Tours (also called " Martini" ) marks the time when new wines are tasted, cattle are butchered and geese are at their prime. This feast celebrated in German-speaking Europe, is celebrated on November 11 usually with a roast goose. REUTERS/Leonhard Foeger (AUSTRIA - Tags: AGRICULTURE ANIMALS SOCIETY TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY)

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a gaggle of geese stands proudly in a lush pasture near the picturesque village of Edlitz in Lower Austria. The image captures the essence of unity and instinct as these beautiful birds gather together, showcasing their natural behavior. The geese are raised organically by Austrian farmers Johann and Maria Reisenbauer, who have dedicated themselves to preserving the tradition of the Martin Goose dinner. This feast, celebrated on November 11th in German-speaking Europe, marks a time when new wines are tasted, cattle are butchered, and geese are at their prime. The central composition of the photograph draws attention to the crowd of geese against a backdrop of rolling hills and an expansive blue sky dotted with fluffy clouds. The open space allows for a sense of freedom and abundance that resonates with nature's beauty. This image not only highlights the rural landscape but also emphasizes the importance of organic farming practices and wildlife preservation. It serves as a reminder that amidst our modern world, there is still room for traditional celebrations rooted in nature's bounty. Leonhard Foeger's creative use of composition captures both the serenity and liveliness found within this gaggle of geese. As we gaze upon this scene devoid of human presence, we can't help but appreciate the harmonious coexistence between humans and animals in such idyllic settings.
