Beauty and the Birds

Chris Arnade has a piece on the rooftop pigeon-keepers of Brooklyn that's absolutely worth a read. Heck, even if you don't read it, scroll through and look at his fabulous photos.

I first noticed the flocks of pigeons swooping and swirling above Brooklyn during my long walks back in the 2000’s. I immediately knew they were beautiful, I just didn’t know they were art. Well, art as most people experience it. Not as something to put in a gallery, but as something to elevate life above the mundane. Beauty for beauty’s sake, not for fame or money.

Recognizing them as art took a little more time.

Do yourself a favor and RTWT.
