Three Barges

A mahogany Orloff rooster with deep reddish-brown plumage, a full beard and a small comb in a navy velvet smoking jacket, standing on the stone balustrade of a terrace above the Danube in Budapest at night beside a glass of white wine, gold and pink fireworks bursting over the river, the lit Parliament building and a chain bridge glowing below
