EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a bird with an eerie sense of style! This woodpigeon is taking the term 'resting in peace' to a whole new level as it casually perches on a gravestone. With its sleek feathers and piercing gaze, this avian visitor seems right at home in the tranquil churchyard. Perhaps it's paying homage to its ancestors or simply seeking some solitude amidst the hustle and bustle of the human world. Captured by photographer Duncan Usher, this backlit beauty showcases nature's ability to find serenity even in unexpected places. The contrast between life and death couldn't be more striking as this adult woodpigeon confidently claims its spot among the graves, reminding us that life goes on no matter what. As we admire this stunning print, let's take a moment to appreciate not only the intricate details of each feather but also the resilience of wildlife thriving alongside us humans. So next time you visit a cemetery or stumble upon an ancient churchyard, keep your eyes peeled for these elegant creatures who have mastered both flight and finding solace in unlikely settings. This photograph serves as a gentle reminder that even when faced with mortality, there is always room for beauty and tranquility – whether you're soaring through open skies or perched atop history itself.
