But then how do they see them from the back bedroom or loft?

It makes sense seeing it, but I never realized their wings folded up like that.  Nature is amazing, all right.

There are an awful lot of 'mechanical' natural things.  It's always stunning to see.  Makes you think about Evolution.  If you're that way inclined, of course.

There's a quote (which I can't find) from Robert Hooke, who invented the microscope, that says something to the effect of "the more closely you examine man-made objects the cruder and coarser they appear, whist the more closely you examine natural things the more intricate and beautiful they appear".

Quote
After years of service, on a spring morning, a hunter releases his mature eagle a final time, leaving a butchered sheep on the mountain as a farewell present. "That's how the Kazakh eagle hunters make sure that the eagles go back to nature and have their own strong newborns, for the sake of future generations", Svidensky says.

That might be one of the most beautiful things I have ever read.

Some people have said Isaac Asimov's Caves of Steel was an indictment of man's desire to live in caves again, shut out nature.

As long as they keep out the flying snakes, sign me right the fuck up.
