Danger Shot


While my iMac was doing a software update early this morning I strolled out with a cup of coffee under the arches at Pacific Science Center. Just had my iPhone with me, so this shot may be hard to see. But all of a sudden, it was as though I was in an old Hitchcock movie!

The air was suddenly filled with the shrill sounds of hundreds of birds. Along with the usual cacophony from the many gulls that hang out, there were these starlings swooping into the arches. There were hundreds perched on top of the arches. I took my iPhone and snapped this shot quickly before any of them managed to bomb me.

Adding to the bizarre scene was the fact the air was filled with the delicious scent of doughnuts from a nearby bakery.

Kinda freaky.
