The Final Resting Place - A Triptych

For a little friend

Gone forever the splendour of flight. Earth bound now no more to soar the heavens and scale those dizzy heights, no more to dream of flying to the stars, or gliding on the winds.

It is always so sad when we find any lovely birds who’ve been killed after colliding with glass. Unfortunately this can be a common occurrence at certain times of the year, no matter how hard we may try to prevent it.

When we came across this tiny bird, it still looked so beautiful and perfect we decided to capture a series of images as a memory to what it once was and what it was capable of, the majesty and splendour of flight. Titled ‘The Final Resting Place’ this was both poignant and appropriate. Once we had finished photographing, we finally left it, ready and waiting for Mother Nature to reclaim. Peaceful at last.
