In this print captured by Yara Nardi, a serene scene unfolds as ducks gracefully glide across the reflecting pool nestled between two iconic landmarks in Washington, D. C. The Lincoln Memorial stands tall and majestic on one side, while the towering Washington Monument graces the other. It is November 14th, 2019 - a day when nature's beauty harmoniously intertwines with man-made marvels. The image captures a moment of tranquility amidst the bustling cityscape. As these elegant creatures navigate through the calm waters, their reflections create mesmerizing ripples that mirror both history and modernity. The juxtaposition of these symbolic structures against the gentle presence of wildlife evokes a sense of timelessness and harmony. This photograph serves as a reminder that even within an urban landscape filled with political significance and human endeavors, nature finds its place to thrive. The ducks symbolize resilience and adaptability in their ability to coexist alongside architectural wonders etched into America's collective memory. Nardi's lens effortlessly transports us to this enchanting oasis where serenity reigns supreme. Through her artistry, she invites us to pause for a moment and appreciate not only our human achievements but also the delicate balance we share with our natural surroundings. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of how small yet significant moments can bring solace amidst chaos—a testament to both Mother Nature's enduring grace and humanity's quest for peace amid grandeur.
