4 crows and afternoon sun

On a walk with the dog, Saturday afternoon, I heard the amazing cacophony as the afternoon crows passed over Memorial Park.  The sheer volume of sound from this avian commute mesmerized me and rooted me to the spot.  
  
Theirs is not a lovely sound, in the way a robin singing for rain is lovely, but then again, it is more like drumming than a flute solo, and is beautiful, fitting and a comforting part of a sunny late afternoon.

A Strange No-Entry Sign















In this Street shot of London, I noticed something strange about one of the no entry signs.  I was intrigued, and did a little poking around.  Here's what I found: there is an artist named Clet Abraham.  He has done some work that has been called 'street art'.  I don't know if this is one of his signs, or just a stencil put on by a graffiti artist.  Here is one of his signs:
 

The link below will let you see more of his street art work.
