Excellent picture of the Canada Geese. How did you do it?

My understanding of the words is that "freedom" is something that can exist independent of subjects; whereas "liberty" more signifies the degree or capacity of the movement of a subject in a given space. Freedom is a domain that is shared by all of its inhabitants, but liberty is more specific to each individual.
