Pigeon at Dusk

Uploaded: September 29, 2013

Description

----
This was submitted in a different form in October 2011. This is a posh pigeon, to say the least. Also a cultured pigeon, judging from the place he calls "Home."
----
This brilliant little character is a tour guide at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.
----
Well, he probably doesn't do tours, but he seemed very majestic as he surveyed his realm.

Pigeons know best it seems, and so do you, capturing this quiet twilight ambience, just as the lights go on. #1546290
