Evening gathers to call
Flocks to watering hole
And to glimmers of fish
In the sparkling bowl.
Palm to palm
Whispers calm,
As the pond
Drained but bright
Refracts sun’s glinting light
From silvery fins
‘Til a good night.

Thank you! It was a very blissful yet evocative evening when I’d taken the photo, and the feeling remained. It is a beautiful place. That pond is a couple minutes walk from the beach on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and the fishponds have been built on migratory routes of wild birds and serve as a bird sanctuary as well as working fisheries. Some of the ponds remain only partially emptied (of water or fish) to allow the birds to feed freely. Storks, Cranes, Kingfishers, Egrets — all flock there.
