Sunbathing Pigeons

Usually on a fine day, there will be people sitting on these stairs leading down to the river… But on this occasion, a sunny Saturday morning in late September, the pigeons had the place to themselves!

A wonderful place for relaxation!

I like how you 'expanded' the image. too early for humans?

Graham Edwards said...

It looks so calm and warm and I could just sit on those steps and contemplate the world and do my crossword.

Ginny Hartzler said...

Of course they are not sunbathing. They are looking at these wonderful and beautiful reflections and cooing over hem.

Like Graham, I could just sit on those steps (provided they have warmed up in the sun a bit) and contemplate the world. A cup of coffee with it would be nice, as you say this was Saturday morning...

What a great place to sit and contemplate in the sun! I'd be willing to share the space with the birds, at least until they started showing any bad manners :)

I can't pick a favorite, I LOVE all THREE. gorgeous reflections and the first shot of the pigeons I just love...

Summer said...

It is a very popular spot, Mersad!

Yes, it was a bit early for people to be just "sitting around" outdoors (about 10 am on a Saturday).

Graham, I'd expect to find you at a table at the outdoors café in the background with a cup of coffe...

Ginny, lined up like that they looked rather like they were at the theatre waiting for some kind of show (riverdance, perhaps? haha)

DawnTreader said...

There is a café just nearby, Meike...

Betty, it can get pretty crowded in the summer - not least when some human decides to share their food with the pigeons, and the gulls decide to join as well!

DawnTreader said...

Sandra, I found it quite an amusing sight, as pigeons don't usually sit all neatly lined up like that (I don't think...)

Thanks for stopping by, Summer.
