Watch Out Attacks from Top

Groups of pigeon are living around this part of Old Town. Extended structure like this would be a nice choice for taking a rest while the ground is too crowded with people. They are now right above pedestrian walkway. Whoever passing by have better watch out the droppings from these pigeons.

Beautiful shots, due to men's greed they have
robbed the homes of the free birds. At times,
some humans are actually animals in human forms.
