Often they present as familiar shapes, such as fish, or swans, that can best be seen when captured in photographs.In the accompanying text, art historian Maartje van den Heuvel compares Hijweege's images to the cloudy skies in 17th century Dutch painting. Nature journalist Koos Dijksterhuis explains why starling swarms occur,and explains the wonderful choreography of this breath-taking natural phenomenon.
