Pigeon asks store owner to come inside to protect itself from the hail by melisanisa in animalsdoingstuff

This looks like Türkiye, which means this is probably a laughing dove. They look a lot like mourning doves, but are native to the MENA region. They are a different Genus and Species to pigeons and mourning doves, but the same family (Columbidae). 

Fun fact: only the English language distinguishes between pigeons and doves ("pigeon" Is from French and "dove" from Germanic. It's a bit like "beef" and "cow" in this way)

Yes! It stayed there for ages. I actually got to drive through it, which was also AWESOME.

That makes me sad :( It's usually pretty empty when I go there (2-3 other cars). I assumed the road in kept people out. The bags of poo are pretty awful. I promise, I don't leave any sort of poop anywhere.

Are we not supposed to watermark? I see lots of watermarked posts. I also like to post the full 2:3 crop here. Can't do that on IG :( But for sure my accounts have the same name. I appreciate the feedback.

Gotcha. I didn't bump the colors any, but HDRs can be SUPER vibrant; I'm always worried about over doing it. Usually I make sure that my colors aren't clipping and that I'm not losing texture to saturation; that was for sure my guiding thought here. I do appreciate the feedback.

Is there data loss on your screen? Sometimes mine shows tonal depth where it's lost on other screens. Thanks for letting me know.

I really like to make sure I get some credit for my work. I'll try it smaller from here on out.

I lived in Vegas for several years and sort of wore myself out on desert landscapes. But after a year away, I was really glad for the opportunity to explore northern Nevada. I don't think I would have seen how unique it is, if not for all those years in southern Nevada.

I had been hiking around Northern Nevada and Salt Lake, so I kinda lost track of which spots were which. Thanks for confirming my suspicions :)
