I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

This would not happen in most of our cities!...because they are trying to clean it up!

Good urban capture!

Feeding the pigeons in Piazza San Marco, Venice was always a major tourist attraction. As they attempt to keep Venice clean, there are no more vendors selling corn to feed the birds. One gets fined if caught feeding the birds. Good human (and bird) interest photo, Raj.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

See that the pigeons and gulls are hungry. See too that the pigeons are at ease while the gulls are (always) nervous.

Very good scene Raj!

The gulls are well behaved waiting their turn...here they practically attack you while the pigeons are more cautious...this guy must be well acquainted with these birds...great slice of life.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

It's amazing how birds (animals too) can adapt to people & city life. The pigeons have total trust in the guy that he will provide them with food. Excellent capture, Raj.

He must be related to the Birdman Of Alcatraz. LOL. Outstanding capture, Raj. The birds not only trust that guy, but they don't seem to be disturbed by you being near, either.

Good capture of the birds Raj - I like the one gull with his wings outstretched as if to say, "Go figure - this dude likes pigeons better than us."

A wonderful city shot but no one feeds the pigeons in downtown Chicago - too much of a nuisance I guess. Birds and man seem at ease as if it is a daily ritual.

There's one pigeon on his hand and another on his left knee, waiting his turn.

I like the peacefulness of the image...they are all relaxed and at home. Great color and lighting.

Wonderful city image!
