A monochrome photograph captures six pigeons in flight, their silhouettes creating a dramatic contrast. The pigeons appear bright white as they fly in front of the dense, dark foliage of a tree, while those set against the lighter sky appear as dark silhouettes. The interplay of light and shadow emphasises the birds’ movement.

A pencil drawing of two turtle doves with oak leaves in the background. Named after its 'tur tur' call, the turtle dove is romantic and enigmatic. It nests in shrubs and trees and feeds on the seeds of crops and woodland plants. These stunning birds are sadly in decline.

Hunkered Down

Late on Thanksgiving Day, in a quiet Georgia town, I spotted three Eurasian collared doves (Streptopelia decaocto) hunkered near the top of a bare tree. Their posture, the stark branches, and the soft light formed a quietly compelling composition. I considered both the color and monochrome versions of the photograph but ultimately chose black and white—for its mood, its simplicity, and the way it honored the stillness of that moment.

If you're a fan of stunning dove imagery, be sure to explore my photo gallery for a collection of beautiful snapshots that capture their elegance and charm.

"Three birds—likely Eurasian collared doves—perch solemnly on the bare, skeletal branches of a leafless tree. The photograph is rendered in black and white, stripping away color to reveal the stark drama of form, shadow, and silence. Each dove is positioned at a different height and angle, as if marking separate stations in a quiet vigil. Their bodies are slightly hunched, feathers puffed against the chill, suggesting a shared anticipation—perhaps of an approaching storm, or the weight of seasonal change.

The tree itself is a lattice of thin, reaching limbs, mostly stripped of leaves, with only a few clinging remnants. These branches stretch upward and outward like open arms or antennae, scanning the sky for signs. The background is a pale, overcast sky—blank and luminous—casting the birds and branches into sharp silhouette. There’s no visible horizon, no ground, no distraction. Just the geometry of survival and stillness.

The birds do not face each other. Each seems to be looking outward, as if guarding a different quadrant of the sky. Their postures evoke quiet endurance, a kind of feathered stoicism. The absence of color heightens the emotional resonance: this is not a cheerful scene, but a contemplative one. It feels like a moment suspended in time—between weather systems, between migrations, between thresholds.

"The authors of this latest paper decided to test the Ebbinghaus illusion across two species that inhabit very different sensory environments: ring doves and guppies."

Cold Thresholds and Army Paperwork

Wow. I just glanced at the temperature on my taskbar—47º outside. That’s the coldest morning of the fall so far this year. I know, I know… folks up in Minnesota are probably thinking, “Big whoop. That’s shirt-sleeve weather.”

I lived in Minnesota for a while during my Army days. I’d just been reassigned from Germany and thought I understood cold. Minnesota politely—and thoroughly—redefined that understanding. I drove up from Tennessee after flying in from Wyoming. That month was a blur of relocations, a sovereign zigzag across the country. But that’s a story for another scroll.

A few days after arriving in Minnesota, I had to fly to Fort Sheridan in Chicago to sign in. I was Regular Army, assigned to a Reserve battalion. On arrival, I rented a car, drove to a certain building on post, walked in, probably handed over my orders, signed a book, turned around, got back in the rental, and drove straight back to Minnesota. Crazy, right?

When I returned to Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, the temperature had dropped. On advice, I’d parked my car over at neighboring Fort Snelling and taken a taxi to the airport. It was late at night. The moment I stepped outside, the cold hit me like a wall—literally took my breath away. I don’t recall the exact temperature, only that it was very cold. 🥶

I jumped into the first taxi I saw and headed for Fort Snelling. The parking lot was vast and empty, save for my car sitting alone in the middle, blanketed in snow. I asked the driver to wait until I got it started. He did. And just like that—I had arrived.

“Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get.” — Mark Twain

“One thing about cold weather: it brings out the statistician in everyone.” — Paul Theroux'

"Two birds—likely doves or pigeons—are captured mid-flight against a stark white backdrop, their wings sweeping downward in perfect synchronicity. The photograph is rendered in black and white, stripping away distraction and focusing the eye on form, motion, and contrast. Each bird’s feathers are crisply defined, their bodies angled slightly forward as if gliding through a moment suspended in time. They fly one behind the other, equidistant, mirroring each other’s posture like twin emissaries in a silent ballet. The absence of background detail creates a sense of purity and focus, as if the birds are suspended in a ceremonial void. Their downward wing stroke evokes both power and grace—an elegant descent or a poised hover. In the bottom left corner, the watermark “© Swede’s Photographs” quietly anchors the image, a signature of authorship and reverence.

This image feels like a sovereign dispatch from the Ministry of Cerulean Echoes—an invocation of kinship, symmetry, and flight." - Microsoft Copilot with edits by the photographer

Foto in einem Jain Tempel. Eine Taube sitzt still neben einer Statue eines Tirthankara, eines geistigen Führers der Jain. Die Statue ist aus weißem Marmor. Sie sitzt im Lotussitz. Sie stellt eine nackte männliche Figur dar. Sie trägt einen Edelstein als Bindi zwischen den Augen. Über ihrem Kopf befindet sich eine Art Schirm. Vielleicht stellt die Figur Vishnu dar, der oft von Kobras geschützt wird.
Das Bild zeigt eine Nahaufnahme einer Statue und einer Taube. Die Statue ist aus weißem Marmor und stellt eine sitzende Figur dar. Die Statue ist auf hellem Marmor platziert, die sich vor einem Hintergrund aus Fliesen befindet. Der Hintergrund besteht aus türkisfarbenen Fliesen mit rosa und weißen Blumenmotiven.
