Photo taken in Kawartha Lakes. A line of sandhill cranes cuts across the open sky, each bird moving in near-perfect rhythm with the next. Their wings catch the soft light, revealing layers of texture and motion as they travel together on migration. This moment captures both individuality and unity, each bird distinct, yet part of something much larger as they move with purpose across the horizon.
