Part landscape, part wildlife photograph. I admit this may be my new favorite.
I think all the pieces needed for a good photograph fell together here.

Sand Dunes
Sunset from behind a dune. Outside Charleston, South Carolina.
Riding A Cushion Of Air, Pelican
A Pelican will fly low, almost touching the water to take advantage of the air flow. The best description is they ‘ride a cushion of air’.
A no effort glide using the weight of their body.
A prehistoric bird with modern aerodynamics.
In A Dark Church
The only light used was through the stained glass windows.

Atlantic Ocean
A Matte finish, just because.
From A Walk, Cemetery
I used the standard composition rules in a straight forward photograph. It makes a big difference.
A dirt road leads the viewers eye to the subject, the head stones are white and framed by the trees. All natural parts of the scene.
Last I lightened the center white head stones in the image.
From any other angle this was a pretty dull image.
Pelican, Low Take Off
White Pelicans I have been watching here look like they want to get high up right away. It only just occurred to me the other day, and watching this bird staying low seemed different.
Of course now that I’m curious the Pelicans will be gone and I will have forgotten my theory by the time I see my next flocks.
I have a curious mind…and a short attention span.
