Surveyors of the city....are having a party

Well, by now its evident, I spend half my life at traffic lights.
The monsoon has well descended on the city..... cloudy skies, a pleasant breeze, the fragrance of earth all enliven. me....
These birds, I guess are surveying the traffic and are in discussion if the heavy rains and strong winds will continue..... In any case, this mid-air get together is a veritable party..... there is space on the wire for wire-crashers.... if anyone wants to join in the fun.
Wonderful capture! Very dramaic!

Cool shot, slightly 'Hitchcok' like with the vast number of birds but love it. Great capture
June 10th, 2013  
Wow -- great spotting and capture!
June 10th, 2013  
Great, dramatic capture against a moody sky.
I agree with Rachel @roseolivia: it reminds us of the ominous presence of birds in Hitchcock's homonymous movie...
(A close up would have been really stunning...).

@eyesmile Thank you Gena! :)
@roseolivia Thanks for your wonderful words Rachel! :)
@taffy Thanks so much Taffy! :)
@mara19500 Thanks Mara, wasn't sure I did justice and the moody sky came through. It was a quick shot in passing, as always in the midst of traffic and the rush of life.... a close up was not possible.

Super spot and capture.

Great capture, love your composition with focus just on the wires. What kind of birds are they?
June 10th, 2013  
@thresheg thanks Graham! :) your the expert on birds :)
@khirsch thanks for your kind words Karin. These are pigeons, i barely had a moment to focus. As i spotted them, i got like 30 seconds ! Lol!

@amrita21 I almost thought so the typical surveyors of the city, thank you you telling me
June 10th, 2013  
Wow...such a gathering...impressive capture Amrita..
June 10th, 2013  
I see more 'bunting' cheering up the grey sky than 'Hitchcock'. Like the
party idea.
June 10th, 2013  
Stunning capture!

Yes! Amazing capture! I see birds on a wire around here too, but haven't been able to capture them in an interesting way the way you have! I love this!

That´s a lot of birds! Great b&w, gives it a dramatic feel. They sure look like they are having some sort of conversations. Greatly captured!
June 11th, 2013  
Well for a quick snap you've done a great job, the B&W is perfect of course. They remind me of little ants.

Great photo, love the way you have all the wires in the shot. That is a lot of pigeons - near a feeder, I suppose.

@veengupta Thanks Veena! :)
@mijade Thanks Aurelie! :)
@writingdays you won't believe how quick I was once I spotted them, there was no way to get of the car and get a picture, i too saw half of them at first.... and then saw so many. This was at Mahalaxmi. Thanks :)
June 13th, 2013  
Well, this is what is called being online.
