Lost Wetland Images
Roosting Matters - 1
( ... a mini series
of three images ... )
It was just after
the sunset on
that day ...
Thick columns of fog
had already started
moving in ...
We were slowly trudging
out of that surviving
patch of a wonderful
wetland-wilderness ...
... that is being hemmed
in from all sides ...
There were thousands of
starlings ... a mixed group
... looking
for whatever acacias and
shrubs that were left
standing ... to spend
a cold night
They presented a
magnificent and very vocal
spectacle ...
Ghosts of tall pylons
and stretching cables
... signs of an advancing
and usurping civilization
... appeared like some
... Quixotic Giants ...
at a distance ...
