23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
Small shelter in a big World
This photograph, a pigeon rests itself among an old, cracked walls of the Golconda Fort. The pigeon’s blue-grey feathers stands out against this muted, weather-beaten wall backdrop. The bird looks calm, almost contemplative, as if this little hollow is its momentary refuge from the world. The whole scene carries a tender, human feeling of finding comfort in unlikely places.
