Turkeys' frozen moment

Since the valley is close to our house in Birzeit -Palestine, My siblings and I used to hike there in the early mornings and go to our extended family's farm. These Turkeys are a recent addition to the mixture, a much faster one, which made it even more fun. I wanted to capture the amazing details of such bird and their shadows. The energy of such creatures is inspiring and contagious. Their picture on a road makes you wonder what they are going to do next. I am glad I was able to freeze their movement.
