Shadows of prison and freedom
Shadows of prison and freedom A crow flies off into the freedom of the air with a crumb of bread he found on the pavement. The railings of nearby houses are like those of a prison keeping humans in and trapped and closed off. Who is free? Aperture ƒ/10 Camera Canon EOS 20D Focal length…

This was snapped while walking past Marks & Spencers on Patrick’s Street last year. I spotted the security…
