Project 365 d-138

      About an hour was all I had today to go wander off in search of my photographic prey. I cannot deny that I'm drawn to water and bridges, and I don't apologize for it. I just feel pulled there. Today I revisited a favorite bridge of mine, but went searching beneath it for any secrets it would reveal. Right away I looked up and noticed these Pigeons that kept flying around near the top of the bridge. Plus, the Sun was desperately trying to burn its way through the cloud cover, and seemed to be interested in what I was doing.

     As I set up my tripod there was a single bird resting on a ledge above. I wanted to capture it in flight with the late day sky and Sun looking on. No sooner had I thought that, then the Pigeon took flight. I snapped two frames of it and this one was today's pick. It looks surreal to me, and I like the way it makes me feel. One could imagine what it must feel like to observe from so far up and in a moments notice to open your wings to the summoning of the wind. To float effortlessly above the chaos and glide to where your soul takes you.

Happy Shooting.
