Description This is a Marabou Stork found in Africa.
It looks like an old man walking around with his hand behind his back, thinking...

Sorry that I have less time to be active in the community, it's very busy time for me with the exams in the university and work etc.
I hope you understand

It truly looks like an old man walking, that same pace and the little crooked like back. Or maybe he's counting steps to a treasure he has buried somewhere. That was the first thought that came to my mind when watching the photo. (: But yeah, like the dof as well and that you got some yellow to the upper part, really brightens up the shot!
