IMAGES OUT OF THE ORDINARYABOUT PEACOCKSARGUABLY THE MOST SPECTACULAR OF ALL BIRDS, THE PEACOCK IS QUITE EXTRAORDINARY. ITS BLUEGREEN COLOURING, ESPECIALLY WHEN SEEN IN THE SUN, IS IRIDESCENT AND UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE. ITSCREST MAKES IT LOOK ALMOST REGAL AND INDEED MANY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD REVERE THEPEACOCK. IN CHRISTIANITY, IT IS THE ANCIENT SYMBOL OF ETERNAL LIFE AND IN ASIA IT WAS CONSIDEREDTHE GUARDIAN OF ROYALTY. TODAY IT IS THE NATIONAL BIRD OF INDIA AND HAS BEEN PAINTED ANDPHOTOGRAPHED ALMOST TO THE POINT OF UBIQUITY. I HAD A FEW GOOD IMAGES OF PEACOCKS IN THEPAST, BUT I’D NEVER CAUGHT THE CLASSIC SHOT OF A PEACOCK FANNING ITS TAIL...UNTIL NOW! IT’S ANAMAZING SIGHT TO SEE, AND TO HEAR, AS THE MALE LITERALLY SHAKES ITS TAIL FEATHERS IN ITS ATTEMPTTO WOO A FEMALE. IT IS ONLY WHEN YOU SEE IT THAT YOU FULLY APPRECIATE THE SHEER MAGNIFICENCEOF THIS BIRD, SOMETHING I’VE TRIED TO CAPTURE IN THESE IMAGES.ABOUT GARY MARLOWEFOLLOWING A CAREER IN LIVE EVENTS AND GRAPHIC DESIGN, GARY NOW DEVOTES HIS TIME TO CREATINGIMAGES OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
