When I saw this image on the street I immediately thought of a Parliament of Rooks or a Murder of Crows. In New Zealand we don’t have any Crows or Rooks, the closest we have is a Magpie which is much smaller and white and black as opposed to just being black.
It kind of has that sinister feel like they are about to descend and obliterate the artist… Maybe that’s just me…

Picking a friend up at the airport is always a good opportunity to take some more images of people.
