So these are ravens and not currawongs. Thought they were the latter, but they aren’t. That said, I could be wrong, but they seem to be ravens from what I’ve looked into, so I’m claiming they’re ravens.

It was hot under the sun and I got to see these birds at the dunes, and it was a pleasant sighting. I can’t explain why, but I found it to be.

I like how this turned out as it feels a bit odd, perspective-wise. It’s difficult to make out the details of the dunes so the ravens almost appear as though flying against a flat space, with their shadows providing most of the suggestion of the land’s shape.

This is my submission into the three hundred-and-eighty-first Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Minimalism in Black and White Photography“.

What’s around this bend is more of the same, though maybe some more properties. However, that’s not necessarily known until it’s driven along and more is revealed, though it certainly can be anticipated.

The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:

Tina

Patti

Ann-Christine aka Leya

John Steiner

Sofia Alves

Anne Sandler

Egídio

Ritva

Beth

This one is curated by Ritva. The next one is curated by Egídio.

I recommend joining the community and participating in the challenges. They’re pretty straightforward, allow room for interpretation, and provide a good way to think about photography in general. If not, however, then at the very least you should check out what others submit to the challenges.

I hope you enjoy.
