Morning scavengers




Do you see them? The pair of rascals hopping up and down this concrete monstrosity which some smart-ass once thought would embellish a neighbourhood?

Teenagers occasionally gather there after dark to do whatever it is the youth are wont to do. They don't usually stay very long but they sometimes leave stuff behind: cigarette butts, empty beer cans, food leftovers... and the crows, being the clever birds they are, know that all too well.

Yes... crows will BE crows! But... maybe they just like the ART! ;)

This was once a water feature, yes? Why has the water been turned off? Drown'em I say -- kids and crows alike!

(Shame on me.)

Crows have to eat too.

melli: they love the art of getting the easiest snack possible ;)

quilly: yes, i reckon it was supposed to be one... but the idea never became materialised and i haven't seen a single drop of water (apart from the rain, that is) flowing down these blocks

dr.john: well, i agree and don't object to that... besides, they sometimes make for good photos
