A poised pigeon explores the sunny patio at The Royal Hawaiian Resort, Oʻahu. Full Description: Captured on the charming grounds of The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort in Waikiki, this photograph features a bird, likely a pigeon, standing amidst the textured sands of the resort's patio. Taken under the harsh sunlight of a mid-May afternoon in 2024, the image highlights the bird's detailed plumage and the play of shadow and light. The pigeon's presence against the backdrop of the resort's luxurious setting adds a natural contrast to the man-made elegance surrounding it. This photo, part of the '2024 Hawaii' album, showcases not just the fauna of Hawaii but also the spontaneous moments of beauty and serenity that can be found in everyday settings.
