Swans swim on Valentines Day in lake Zbilje
Swans swim on Valentines Day in lake Zbilje, central Slovenia February 14, 2006. Slovenia recently sent samples of the H5 strain also found in a swan, close to its border with Austria, to an EU laboratory to confirm whether this is also the highly pathogenic H5N1, as suspected.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Srdjan Zivulovic, we are transported to the serene and romantic setting of Lake Zbilje in central Slovenia on Valentine's Day. The image showcases a mesmerizing sight as graceful swans gracefully glide across the calm waters, creating ripples that reflect their elegance. The timing of this photograph holds deeper significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It coincides with a crucial moment for Slovenia, as it grapples with concerns over avian influenza. Just days before this snapshot was taken in 2006, samples from a swan near the Slovenian-Austrian border were sent to an EU laboratory for testing. Authorities suspected that the H5 strain found in the bird could potentially be highly pathogenic H5N1. This juxtaposition between love and potential danger adds an intriguing layer to the visual narrative captured by Zivulovic's lens. It serves as a reminder of how nature can both enchant us with its beauty and present challenges that require our attention and vigilance. Through his skillful composition, Zivulovic invites us into this picturesque scene while also prompting contemplation about our coexistence with wildlife and the delicate balance we must strike between admiration and caution. This photograph stands not only as a testament to artistic talent but also as a thought-provoking reflection on our relationship with nature's wonders.
