a few times a week, hundreds of birds gather in the tree behind our neighbor’s house around sunset and then all fly off together, as if on some secret signal. i took this one evening as they all flew off towards the city. just prior to their departure the chirping hits a fever pitch, then a brief moment of silence, then they all fly off together.
always one of my favorite street festivals. this was one of the art installations, heavily processed.
shot this from my hotel room the last time i was in chicago. it was rainy, dark and late. small tripod on the windowsill for 8 seconds did the trick. more dynamic black & white on the lumix lx3.
