Birds on the wire
10 December 2005 (85)

Salisbury, UK

Pigeons basking in the late afternoon sun on the roof of a shop in Fisherton Street in Salisbury.
The pigeon on the parapet kept moving away from me... -- but I shot him in the end!

(This was taken from Platform 6 of the railway station -- waiting for my SO
to return from a rather testing time in London....)

lol... I hate pigeons. they're so invasive. but they make nice shots. nice colours/light and composition. I like the chimney in the bg.

Great colors and light.
It's true the pigeons add to the shot.

I love the bounce of light and variety of colours. Well done.
