Starlings flocking over Rome looking like ...

Beautiful as Rome is, this sight was by far the most amazing thing I saw in this city, or in fact in quite a while. This strange cloud in the sky was actually created by many thousands of birds flocking before dark to find their night roost. They flew in synch creating amazing images in shades of grey, like this "head-down image of a man". Or is it a fetus waiting to be born...

No retouchings are involved here = no Photoshop
