Hello! Mr.Pigeon

On a warm winter day in Jinan, I stumbled upon a park. The air was filled with the joyful sounds of children playing in a square beneath a large pigeon coop. Bathed in the soft sunlight, the scene of them interacting with the pigeons was so beautiful I had to capture it. Though my film camera missed the moment the flock took flight, this frame still holds a special warmth that I adore."
