Description
I shot this one walking with my dog around my apartment house. Many years ago under so-called "socialism" the term "politinformatsia" (political information) meant a gathering where someone in charge reported on a current political situation based on the newspapers. Both the speaker and the audence pretended that the event was of vital importance, but in reality no one cared less. The vent was rather widespread around schools, the army, at some factories etc. I am sure with birds it must be different.
Sorry for being abselt for quite a while - they stashed the UPLOAD button somewhere and I've only found it this sunny morning. Take care! Nikolay

I hate having the paper read to me. I'm sure I would not have enjoyed those gatherings! LOVE the birds, though. :) Your color block composition is superb, as always. You have such a remarkable eye for this sort of thing!

Looks like they are sitting on the party line. I agree with Tara. This is a superb image. The old Soviet Union may not have been the socialist worker's paradise it claimed to be but sometimes the humor was pretty good.

Mark, who cares about all that political paraphenalia when you're young and have ends on your mind different from those relating to climbing the political hierarchy ladder! Thank you!

This is such a terrific powerful composition, Nikolay ! Worthy of a place in the Royal Academy photo section . How some of stuff gets selected beats me.

Perfect title...I can hear the birds exchanging information now. The composition is spectacular. What an eye catcher.
Thanks for asking about us. Tara and I are doing great: summers in Washington State, Winters in deep south Texas. One of these days we'll have to grow up and settle down:-) Glad you found the upload button. Nothing ever stays the same, does it? Hope all is well with you too.

Wishing you both a long period between now and the time you finally decide to settle down, Bill! I am having some health issue, but what comforts me is understanding that it could be worse:)) Thank you for your kinds words!
