with the absence of so many humans
the animals have reclaimed their territory
and even branched out to try things that might be new
when i saw this goose standing full of pride and bravado on top of the bridge
all i could think of was that scene from ‘titanic’ when jack said to rose:
“i’m the king of the world!”
and he believed that for a little while.

Looks like a gull to my bad eyes. ( much enlarged)
But I believe you…. a gull wouldn’t have triggered this post!

Hi! I love nietzsche
I see a bird with 4 choices. Either way on the bridge which could lead to a Life full of adventure, or a life of loneliness. A dive into the water which might heal de fish to eat for one day, or to fly and see all of his options potential outcomes
