I can't help but think of one of my favorite bands when I see this picture. Mono, a post-rock band from Japan, has a song "Silent Flight, Sleeping Dawn". I can't really call it lyrically inspired, though, as the song has no lyrics. Either way, I love this silhouette against the sunrise.
I traveled to Nashville last year on a trip with a friend. When I went again this year, I discovered that Music Row is not the bright, neon crowds of Broadway, but far away. Broadway is just Nashville's tourist row, and it is good at what it does. Attracting hundreds of thousands on New Years and the preceding night, it was like one giant, ongoing party. The colors stretch all the way down the street with tourists, people seeking to sell newspapers and goods, and everyone else in the city.
I frequently relax by listening to post-rock bands. This has a few effects if I do so while working on photography. Photographs worked on tend to take on a more abstract look, and the titles tend to be... Longer. Many bands in post rock have sentence-length song titles. Anyway, I relaly felt like one was fitting for this photograph. Despite being clearly a nature photograph of birds, it has a very distinct appeal.
