'Voletaire'

This great grey owl was well 'enlightened' by the setting sun, but, unlike Voltaire, I don't think the bird was philosophizing or writing scientific treatises on the relationship between owl and vole. It simply catches them and and dispatches them. Not the best angle, but you can see the vole in the owl's talons.

 

"Truly, whoever can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
