22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Moment of Solitude: A Bird in the City’s Frame

The photo captures a moment of solitude. On a beautiful day, I went to the rooftop to take pictures of the clear sky. Through a small gap, I noticed a pigeon resting quietly on a ledge, framed by the surrounding building structure. The scene struck me as a moment of isolation, with the pigeon seeming lost in thought, embodying a quiet solitude amidst the city's structure.
