Goliath Heron on Frosty Ridge at Twilight in on a wind-scoured ridge in Iran

Goliath Heron on Frosty Ridge at Twilight

by Faith Lambert

Steel-blue ambient light washes over a wind-scoured ridge in Iran where a massive Goliath heron stands motionless in a shallow river. Frost crystals coat every surface, turning the dry grass blades into white spikes and clinging to the bird's heavy grey feathers. The landscape stretches wide under the dimming sky, with rocky outcrops framing the water's edge. Early winter chill is visible in the stillness of the air and the sharp, crystalline texture of the ice on the river stones. The heron's long legs are partially submerged, creating a stark contrast between the dark, wet water and the frosted banks. A jagged shadow falls across the foreground, ending at the edge of a frost-laden reed.
