trying to escape

Well, after finally settling down in New York and getting used to a new environment, I was suddenly hit with midterms. Which is ridiculous, because it's February. But alas, it is so. As a result, I really have not had any time to take photos, so I'm going to be going back to archives until I finally get the time, which might not be in a long while.
For the next week, I'll be posting photos of crow silhouettes.

When I was a kid I always used to wonder : Why do these birds not get electric shock. Me and my friends concluded that all animals which lay eggs don't get electric shocks :-).

I had to look up what "midterms" means, now I understand you have to be busy with democracy. PLease strive for the good: peace, prosperity for everyone, and I hope you won't be spell-bound by Mr. Obama, but let reason lead your choice. Mr. Obama is OK as long as he is not considered a kind of preacher with a simple message. Because the US has a big influence in this complicated world, we need people with experience as Mrs. Albright said in an interview published in a Dutch newspaper. Wisdom, reserve and understanding and perseverance in human rights, to start with in the own house. Sorry I've been putting my nose in your "internal affairs" and I wish you good luck and much wisom.

Ha-ha! Laughing (in a friendly way) at Illuci's effort to make sense of "mid-terms". Mid-term exams and mid-term elections, when googled, might come out garbled I suppose, and somehow might wind up closer to each other than far apart when all the campaign dust settles.
BTW, this is a very interesting image in its subject matter and simplicity.

Good luck with the mid terms. It can be incredibly stressful. Photography will be a good island of relaxation.
