Two pigeons resting whilst commuters stream past on Westminster Bridge, London
London England - 2005; Its sunrise. Amidst glowing morning light, two pigeons rest on the banks of the Thames at Waterloo Embankment, just by the London Eye. In the background, commuters pass in a continuous stream of humanity across Westminster Bridge. This image certainly has a message to me, but see if it says the same thing to you

EDITORS COMMENTS
In the serene embrace of a London sunrise, this print captures the essence of urban life on Westminster Bridge. As the first rays of golden light pierce through the city's skyline, two pigeons find solace amidst the bustling chaos. Perched on the banks of Thames at Waterloo Embankment, just by the iconic London Eye, these avian creatures seem unfazed by the constant flow of commuters passing them. The image tells a story that resonates differently with each viewer. While some may see these pigeons as mere pests or soiled birds, others might perceive them as symbols of resilience and adaptability in an urban landscape. Their scruffy appearance and feral nature juxtapose against the grandeur of stone arches and brickwork surrounding them. Beneath their resting perch lies a society in motion - people from all walks of life rushing to their destinations. The contrast between stillness and movement creates a powerful visual metaphor for our own lives; how we navigate through crowded cities while seeking moments to pause and reflect. This photograph invites us to ponder upon deeper meanings and concepts hidden within its frame. It challenges us to question our perception towards these often overlooked creatures and reminds us that even amidst chaos, there is beauty waiting to be discovered. Captured by Planet One Images/Universal Images Group (UIG), this remarkable print serves as a timeless reminder that sometimes it takes only a momentary pause to appreciate the extraordinary within our everyday surroundings.
