Juxtaposition

I am drawn to moments where wildlife and mankind intersect.  Wildlife often thrives in spite of the hand of man on the landscape.  That juxtaposition is what drew my attention to this pelican below, as it swept up the channel.


There is no greenery to be seen.  The gigantic barge rises up behind the pelican, it's scaffolding casting a reflection onto the water - all rusty lines and angles.  And then there's the pelican, placid, white, and rounded, making a contrast and drawing the eye.
