EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the 1990s, a Carrion Crow (Corvus corone) boldly perches on the handlebars of a motorbike in the bustling city of Colombo, Sri Lanka. The date on this photograph is set to 1994, capturing a moment in time when the intersection of nature and urban life was not uncommon in this vibrant South Asian metropolis. The motorbike, with its worn leather seat and weathered metal, appears to have seen better days. Its rear view mirror reflects the chaotic scene behind - a mosaic of colorful buildings, busy streets, and the occasional passing vehicle. The scene is a stark contrast to the sleek, black silhouette of the crow, which seems unfazed by the noise and commotion around it. The Carrion Crow, a common bird in Sri Lanka, is known for its intelligence, adaptability, and omnivorous diet. In this photograph, it showcases its boldness and resourcefulness, making use of an unlikely perch to survey its surroundings. The bird's piercing gaze and sharp beak are on full display, adding an intriguing element to the image. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the streets of Colombo were a little wilder and the connection between humans and nature was more apparent. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and adaptability of both the crow and the city, and the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places.
