WW - Crow in flight II
This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday editions of Wordless Wednesday.
I'm not a fan of crows myself but this is just a wonderful shot! I wonder how big it is. Hi Jams... am re-joining WW after a long hiatus :) The sky looks cloudy, so is here in Phnom Penh...
I like this shot of the spread wings against the blue sky. Soaring is such a great feeling, along with its beauty (Dick and I both are pilots, so anything flying has great appeal...)
This is really striking, since it is shadowed and there is no need to focus on the eyes/face the wing tips seem to be your point of focus and it is really very cool to see them detailed like this. I can almost imagine it is not an old dull crow!
