20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Resting Beauty

I was taking a walk in my city park, because I was already tired of being at home due to the restrictions of covid19 and I came across this beautiful seagull resting her beauty. I believe that the simplicity and purity of nature is one of the most beautiful things in this world. I took this photo at the right moment when the seagull makes that pose, and I couldn't resist. On this day it was cloudy and cold, but I decided to go outside to contemplate the beauty of the simplest things.
