EDITORS COMMENTS
Fly like nobody's watching! This Grey-headed Lapwing is showing off its aerial acrobatics skills in the vibrant skies of Hong Kong. With feathers spread wide and wings flapping gracefully, this adult lapwing effortlessly soars through the November breeze. Its sleek grey plumage perfectly blends with the urban landscape below, creating a stunning contrast against the bustling cityscape. As an emblem of nature's resilience amidst concrete jungles, this lapwing reminds us to embrace our wild side even in metropolitan settings. It serves as a gentle reminder that no matter where we are, there is always room for adventure and freedom. With its origins rooted in East Asia, this tropical bird brings a touch of exotic beauty to Hong Kong's diverse wildlife scene. Its presence symbolizes harmony between man-made structures and Mother Nature herself. Captured by FLPA photographer John Holmes, this snapshot freezes a fleeting moment of pure joy and liberation. The Lapwing's flight becomes an inspiration for all who witness it – encouraging us to spread our wings metaphorically and explore new horizons fearlessly. So next time you find yourself caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, take a moment to gaze at this magnificent print – let it remind you to soar above your worries and embrace the sheer exhilaration that comes from being truly free.
