Flying North

The afternoon light was ripening,
seaside clouds grew more dense,
the setting sun cast long shadows,
the sea was at peace...

This is what my Nikon captured.
Photo completely untouched by any effects.
All natural.

With no hard edges,
the image heightens the sense of perfect peace.
Although it is a flight of 3 pelicans,
there is a sense that the leader is a solitary bird.
