• Story of the image

  I was lucky to find a pair of long-tailed owls, who were peacefully sitting on the porch of their home.
  The photo was taken through the forked trunk of a neighboring tree. I did not want to disturb them, knowing that they are quite timid. Two owls settled in the shape of a heart on the edge of the hollow. For many, the heart is a symbol of love, representing the greatest and most mysterious force.
  I had to circle around the tree for a long time, choosing the angle and trying not to scare them.
