Silhouette of Falconer Hawk on Ridge

A stark silhouette of a falconer and a hawk on a fist walks across a stubble field on a wind-scoured ridge near Bergen. The last blue light of evening backlights the pair, turning their forms into dark shapes against the low-hanging clouds. The midnight sun keeps the sky bright with a cool, pale wash that touches the horizon while the foreground remains in deep shadow. Rough, dry stalks of cut grain crunch underfoot, creating a textured ground plane that stretches toward the misty edge of the world. The hawk's head is raised, alert, its beak and eye catching the faint ambient glow. One feather on the bird's back catches a thin line of light against the dark silhouette.
