The /yardarm/? well, now that you mention it... :-)
In the original there was a bit too much shadow on the rock to the right
of the image imho.

[We are slowly drifting ot] Governments - and, increasingly, the
vociferous rabble - are not known to tackle elegantly the subtle matter
of human interaction. I often grumpily observe that it would be better
to wipe the planet clean of this obnoxious (human) species and be done with.
Dinosaurs would have done better (I think). ;-)

I saw that yesterday.
Interesting.
No I mean very interesting. ;-)
There are a couple of crows that visit me for the scraps I have been
putting out over the winter. I am still amazed at how much they can hold
in their beaks. They will pick up a lot of food fly or hop a couple of
yards, drop them then pick them up again in a more organised way. Before
flying away.
Or so it seems.

[for ot discussion]
I am not /that/ pessimistic myself. Europe in particular will get a
political shake-up - maybe well-needed(?) - but what I am more concerned
about is the hypocrisy of governments and industries to make the
necessary transitions towards a fairer trade with the so-called third
world countries. As long as we dump our (e.g. agricultural) surplus
there and, at the same time, raise unacceptable import barriers for
them, no solution will be found. Fair (bilateral) deals, fair
(bilateral) trades, less ngo's.
