On a quiet night, among the dark lines of the forest, a tawny owl sits with the moon behind it. The bird's soft light and watchful gaze bring nature, tranquillity and symbolism together in one powerful image.
The owl - a symbol of wisdom, silence and sagacity - seems to merge with the rhythm of the night. Its feathers catch the moonlight, while the world around it slowly fades to shadows and silver. The moment is fleeting, but the atmosphere timeless: an encounter between light and darkness, between wakefulness and calm.
This picture is more than a nature shot. It exudes the sense of stillness that night can bring - the realisation that nature is alive even when we sleep. The light of the moon, the texture of the feathers and the calm gaze of the owl combine to create an image that is at once powerful and hushed.
A work that brings calm and depth to the home, reminding us of the quiet beauty of the night.
