Fly Away

The vacant lot next to our office building is home to hundreds of pigeons...For the past 9 years I've been here, it is already a familiar sight to see families and passers-by taking photos there, feeding the birds or simply pausing to watch..

It has become a landmark too..whenever somebody asks where our office address is, we never fail to ask back " you know where the pigeon park is?" or ' do you know that building with the pigeons, thats our building." and the caller will instantly know where we are..

I am not really that fond of birds or any other animals..But I am helplessly sentimental hehehe..So it's quite sad to know that the lot owner has now decided to build on his land...progress has now caught up with these poor birds..

soon, they will only be distant memories of the past, an old familiar thought of what once a joyous sight..and so here I am, taking photos of them before they blocked out and excavate the land..soon, they will be homeless until they found another place to call home...

JUST FLY AWAY PIGEONS...FLY AWAY HOME..
