At the Xu Gu temple/tomb, there were pillars with various words written on there. These two pigeons were actually fighting with each other, but it looks like they're kissing here. :)

I really don't like pigeons because they make such a mess of things and they are hard to get rid of once they decide to roost. But, you've got a good image going on here. Well done!
