A stag in the golden sun

Richmond Park stag in the golden sun

At about eight, we saw this stag chase off a rival leaving behind this golden sunlit scene. Thinking he’d eventually return to his harem, we waited under the canopy until he walked back into the path of sunlight, then he roared and I took the picture.
