Danube Delta:

DANUBE DELTA, DOBRUJA, ROMANIA

The sequence moves through shallow water where the delta holds birds in brief, exact poses. Glossy ibises work the margins, their dark bodies reduced to silhouettes against the reflective surface. Gulls settle on driftwood and one lifts off, marking a pause in the broader stillness. A pelican drifts through quiet green water, carrying the weight of the marsh in a single frame. The final close view turns to the act of feeding: a frog held in the bill, the hunt completed at the edge of the frame. Across Romania’s Danube Delta, the light stays soft and the atmosphere remains measured, observational, and close to the water.
