Animals at the Olympics 63

After the roar of competition fades, a loon next to the still waters of the Olympic pool, eyes half-closed as it savors the peace and quiet. The bright lane lines reflect softly across the calm surface, stadium lights casting a gentle glow over the empty arena. Painterly detail captures the sleek feathers of the loon, the silence of the moment, and the rustic humor of an athlete who finds joy not in winning, but in stillness.
