Connection

Took the camera with me as I took Fudge for his evening walk. I knew I
needed a photo for one of remaining words in the April Scavenger hunt
but I wasn't sure what I was after. Then I saw these starlings sitting on
an electricity pole and I thought 'connection'.
And now I'm thinking of all the connections I've made through Pbase,
people around the world whom I regard as friends, even if we never
get to share a cup of coffee and a chat outside this virtual world.

What a fine composition with beautiful light and great silhouettes! It is so cool that we can all share our love of photography no matter where we live. Another great thing is that now I can finally spell silhouette! ~V~

the pole and attendant cables are like a sculpture...all the richer with the bird sitting triumphantly on top...it's always great to share images with you Mairead, and with the many pbase friends...V

Beautiful, subtle tones in the sky. And yes, it's amazing how Pbase has brought us all closer together.

Marvelous shot against that evening sky. And like you, I think it is wonderful how so many people have connected over a shared interest in photography. V

Lovely crisp shot of the birds against that lovely background. I always wondered if the current through the wires keep their feet warm:) Yes, pbase is a great way to make connections. V

Love this shot! Glad you're in my "favorites" group.

What a wonderful sentiment Mairead! Also, a great photo too! :))

As long as the birdies don't connect with the current. Lovely shot; the silhouettes are very crisp and work well against the soft variations in the tones of the clouds. It was a good idea to position them against the lighter bands IMHO. And a nice story to go with it...

Great shot and lovely sentiment....
