When Nature Satirises Art...

The view from over the fence of a very fancy and pricey-looking winery-cum-conference centre in the Margaret River area of far south-western Western Australia.
Whether this Little Black Cormorant Phalacrocorax sulcirostris was perfecting the pose or just taking the mickey,
I reckon she just about nailed it.
The statue's right arm might offer a hint as to her motives though.

BACK FRIDAY FOR A 'PROPER' POST!

  1. LOL. Looks like the authorities have tried and failed to deter this type of behaviour.

  2. Yes Boobook! And I hadn't noticed that until I saw the larger version of the pic once I'd posted it. Funny what we miss and the camera doesn't.

  3. Fantastic! I wonder if I can train the local cormorants to pose in a similar way on some rather similar statues at Onzain on the Loire -- it would improve them no end.

    We are en pleine vendanges here, with the winemakers trying to second guess the weather and achieve maximum ripeness whilst saving the grapes from the rain.
