Random Photo

I like to watch birds flying..  Sometimes, beautiful formation like triangle.. 1 line.. changing formation.. Or single bird just enjoying floating in the wind.. etc etc.. 
These 2 are couple???    
 Today, I saw really cool photo show at  Clark/Oshin Gallery @ Icon Photo Lab
 Currently showing collection of cool B&W music photos, Olaf Heine, "I love you but I've Chose Rock". He has 1 photo of birds flying up to the sky.. compare with his photo, this one is nothing but just random 1 bird photo from my secret birds photo collection though...  Please check his show. I liked it.
