In this remarkable photograph, John Blumenkamp expertly captures a feeling many of us recognize too well: the unmistakable atmosphere of a Monday afternoon. The subject is a magnificent gray owl, celebrated for its noble bearing and symbolic intelligence. Yet, in this instance, even this impressive creature appears to surrender to the familiar reluctance that comes with the beginning of the workweek.
With its feathers slightly drooping and eyes showing a clear "over-it" look, the owl seems as though it could benefit from a cup of coffee and a few extra minutes of rest—perhaps hitting the snooze button on existence. Who would have thought that owls could also suffer from the notorious Monday feeling?
