TITLE: My Swan

The swan is the national bird of Finland. The swan in the picture is called Aino, who was injured and could not travel and was treated over the winter. In the spring, Aino returned to nature and was looking for new partners. The series is from Aino's first steps back to nature. In addition to beautiful images, Aino has taught us a lot about freedom, independence and the interaction between man and nature.
