The Birds
My older Flickr contacts know that I struggle with monochrome but today I am stepping out of my comfort zone and posting a scene I came across whilst out walking. It was taken in the middle of the New Forest shortly after a large forest fire. The whole area turned black, most of the trees and shrubs had been burnt and reduced to charcoal. The weather was cold, grey and misty so there was no natural colour to play with, which made it slightly easier to edit.
"The Birds" is a horror story written by the British writer Daphne du Maurier, first published in 1952. The story is set in du Maurier's home county of Cornwall, shortly after the end of the second world war. A farmhand, his family and community come under lethal attack from flocks of birds. The story was the inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock's film The Birds, released in 1963.
