Default The Lone Visitor

This is the Eternal Flame in front of the Daly Plaza in Chicago .. despite the heavy foot traffic, this pidgeon did not move an inch during the time I was there -

Eternal Flame and a Lone Visitor

What if there's a concert and no one shows up ???

Millenium Park, Chicago

He's completely at home there..........great shot from the bird's perspective,Hayward. The second shot is wonderful..........fantastic composition. I love the way you highlighted the maroon colour from chairs to the far tower. All encased in the strong criss cross of the overhead canopy.

Hayward that pigeon is a riot. Almost like he is keeping watch on the flame. The composition on the chairs is great.

Both nicely done
