The basis of this piece is a part of a map, a map called the "Pilot Chart of the North Pacific Ocean," printed in 1944 by the U.S. Navy. I got it at a flea market. (It was brown, ripped, torn, dirty -- perfect!) Other items are a star chart, a crow I photographed on the Oregon coast last week, a diagram showing how a seagull flies, foreign currency, and more. What I like is how the crow, dark as night, stands out against the star chart and the map.
Some of you (who shall not be named) aren't particularly fond of crows. So you (who shall not be named) should just look away! :-)
Oh, and it's snowing right now here on the coast. Very gently. It's still dark so I can't see much, but what I
can see is lovely. Hope some crows show up . . .
