It was quite a warm, summer day where the sun was beating down on the hot concrete. Even the local wildlife needed a refreshing break! On this particularly hot afternoon, two mallards decided they had enough of the heat. Leaving their natural environment behind, they began to waggle their way down the pavement on their way to the local Costa Coffee shop. Perhaps they were hoping for an iced coffee to cool off.
I turned two of these photos around to make the shadows the main focus of the shot instead of the birds. There's nothing like getting your ducks in a row!
This is my entry to the Shadow Hunter's Community SMASh Contest- Round 431.
I am used to seeing ducks on the ponds in my own village, but not in the middle of a town. I did wonder if there feet were hot, though. Regardless, they did seem to know where they were going, so I left them to it.
