Two kings of the peninsula for a photographic Sunday

Sharing my shit photo seems like a great way to start this Sunday.
I don't know why I haven't posted in a community like this before. My photography fits perfectly with the spirit of this community.
I'm someone who likes photography. I think I have visual sensitivity, but I also have zero training, no camera, and a phone whose photographic virtues are quite questionable.
There is so much to photograph in the world! So many scenes that I would like to share with others, even though I don't have perfect technique or appropriate framing, and my compositions fail.
The photograph I am sharing was taken in a small town called Guayacán, on the Araya Peninsula, in the state of Sucre, Venezuela.
I photographed two black birds under the splendid light of the tropics: a zamuro and a tordo.
The zamuro is one of the birds I admire for the elegance of its flight. It also fulfills a mission in the functioning of ecosystems that is always underappreciated.
Zamuros are the ones who work at the precise point where death meets life in that cycle of eternal return that envelops us all.
Tordos, on the other hand, are ruffians.
They are natural thieves of anything that glitters, gang members with a lot of attitude.

This second photo, which I will place like an aerial plateau in the middle of my post, captures my amazement at the sense of community among some little birds. If you look closely, on the cable in the center to the right, two of them seem to be touching wings in a friendly gesture. Totally charming.
Of course, there will be no zamuros or tordos there. They belong to another majestic part of the ecosystem.

The two black birds I introduced first were perched on this dilapidated wall at the Guayacán Ecological Research Center, part of the University of Oriente. I went there on an exploratory trip that turned out to be a journey of natural wonders.
If you look at the hills in the background, you'll begin to understand what I mean.
Maybe later I'll share some other shit photos from that trip through paradise.
Treasures are meant to be shared.

Good afternoon, my dear @adncabrera, I'm so glad to see you posting again. I'll say it again, and I think I've said it before, but you have a great eye for photography. I love the second image.

Big hug.

It's so nice to read your always kind words, @enraizar. I've been a bit pressed for time: work and study sometimes leave no room for such pleasant things as editing or correcting a poem... Anyway, I'm glad I found some time and very happy with your visit. Big hug!
