A just-for-fun compilation of 2 images. I took the sunset on January 28, 2009 from my backyard … one of those rare occasions when we really got amazing colors. The birds on the light pole were taken in Pennsylvania on January 12, 2009. I don’t know what it is about this particular light pole, but large numbers of pigeons can usually be found grouped together here. The two images were combined in Photoshop.
