Parley With Authority And Rebuke

Coyotes at night, when the whole world belongs to them, parley to each other with their higher, sharper voices, like a old council of clowns, full of authority and rebuke.

Photographed in Northern Arizona on the Navajo Nation, in the late afternoon just before sunset. The sun was still bright, but on the other side of the animal, thus making a good exposure of the moving animal, terrain, and sky impossible at best. I knew this and chose it. I chose to focus on the coyote, but expose for the bright sky behind, and create this wonderful silhouette.
