Birds on the Line, December 28, 2007

This was a fun roadside scene. The power line made a good multi-level place for the birds to hang out. The lines aren't quite perfectly straight, but they remain strong geometric elements to contrast with the organic chaos of the birds. The ones sitting on the top lines form the bridge from order to chaos.
