Albatross Nesting on Wind-Scoured Alpine Cliff
by Alvin Bailey
Soft, diffused light after rain illuminates a rugged ridge where an albatross stands guard over its nest. The bird's white plumage is streaked with gray, ruffled by the constant wind that whips across the stone surface. Below, the cliff edge drops sharply into a misty valley, showing the isolation of the perch. Green alpine grasses bend low against the ground, pressed flat by the gale. The wet rock glistens with moisture, reflecting the pale sky above. Feathers lift slightly in the breeze, revealing the texture of down beneath the outer layer. One tuft of dried grass rests near the bird's webbed foot, caught in the crevice of the rock.
