Die Taubenpost
A bit of fun with language and a bad pun - "Taubenpost" is "Pigeon post". The last song of Schubert's Schwanengesang is "Die Taubenpost" - of course he didn't know much if anything about blog posts, so he was referring to the Royal Mail's swifter predecessor.

Il est curieux comme à l'approche de l'hiver les oiseaux adoptent un instinct grégaire... J'ai vu un nuée de pigeons tels des étourneaux, lundi après midi, se posant sur les toits en face du musée Beaubourg (expositions temporaires Arman et Mondrian actuellement)

Being the Master that you are, you succeded in training the three pigeons to mask the sun precisely so as not to blind the lens. It's clear they are hovering and holding position while you snap away.
