Pigeons Rise From Shuttered Arcade Dawn in along a shuttered arcade in Soweto

Pigeons Rise From Shuttered Arcade Dawn

by Todd Price

Soft overcast light washes the wet pavement of a Soweto street corner where a flock of pigeons lifts from the ground. Steam curls upward from iron grates, blurring the air just above the damp asphalt. The shuttered storefronts of the arcade form a rhythmic backdrop of gray metal and dark glass, their windows reflecting the pale morning sky. Rain has left the surfaces slick, turning the ground into a mirror for the rising birds. Leading lines of the building facade and the curb guide the gaze toward the center of the movement. The feathers of the flock appear dark against the gray haze, their wings blurred in mid-flap. One droplet slides down a metal shutter slat, catching the faint light before falling into a puddle.
