Goldfinch. Manchester city centre.
I created this image near the river Irwell and outside the Lowry hotel which in reality is in Salford and not Manchester. The Irwell is the border between Manchester and Salford.
Goldfinches often feed on thistles which it is alleged were used to make the crown of thorns in the passion of Jesus Christ. The bird also appears in many images of the Madonna and Child, maybe as a portent of what is to come for the fated child. For myself, a confirmed atheist, I do not believe in all this religious nonsense any more than I believe James Bond to be a real character.
Notwithstanding the above ....Happy Easter (or Eastre)
