Cave Dwelling Mallards

A flock of Mallard Ducks under the freezing cliffs along the South side of the Valdez Bay, Valdez, Alaska. Its not really a cave, just overhanging rocks, but when I processed the photo I realized it appeared that they were in a cave :wink:

it does feel cave like. I also really like the icicles seeming to line up with the ducks, or at least balancing with them. Very cool.

Hi Gary
Can you say Norman Rockwell. The family has come home and I love the icicles, great photograph.

Hi Gary, nice scene you captured - quite unique. This image gives the viewer a good bit to explore and has interest throughout. Nice frame.

Very good, Gary. Nice to see you settling into retirement and posting again. I like the scene and the icicles add a lot to the image.
