A Buff Orpington rooster with smooth golden-buff plumage in a navy wool pea coat over a cream roll-neck, seated upright on a wooden park bench on the rocky bank of the Hudson River, folded wing feathers resting in his lap and scaled rooster legs standing on the gravel path, a small red cast-iron lighthouse on the rocks behind him and the grey steel towers of a great suspension bridge rising behind, a steel vacuum flask and its cup on the bench, golden late-afternoon autumn light
