On the drive home from Ottawa, there is a field that you suddenly come across that has these gigantic crow sculptures in them. The first time you see them there is sort of a “oh crows…OH MY GOD HUGE FUCKING CROWS…oh they’re fake” moment. Yesterday, in spite of the pouring rain and fading light, I got out to take some pictures of them.
I need to sort though these pictures a bit more and maybe do some cleanup in Photoshop, but I was hoping the overcast and rain would make a more eeeerie effect, and it did. I need to come back with a manual focus camera, though, because a couple of times I wanted one crow framed by another, and the camera I was using tended to focus on the near one (or the grass growing under it) instead.

Giant metal corvids
I think Paul found the garden statuary I’ve been looking for….

Those are . . . terrifying, yet cool. Nice picture capturing the rain streaks on them.

Tech aside: I have no idea why my trackback appeared twice.

Me neither. I got one at 11, and another around 2pm.

This is just bizarre. And wonderful.

Hmmm. That first one was around when I published, but I forgot to ping you until I got into work. Seems as though somehow it trackbacked automatically when I posted, perhaps?

I’m betting you posted using a MovableType bookmarklet, right? They do automatic trackback pings.
