    Such a sad event! Ironically, this crow looks a lot like a jet coming in for a landing!

    So sorry to hear about the crash yesterday. I gather a young girl is one of the survivors...

    This shot is quite eerie - it's almost as if the crow is taking off with those souls that have been released...

    The air crash is an absolute disaster - I can't believe it happened.

    On the photo, I love the shot itself - but those crows are evil! I experienced enough of their ways in Kolkata!

    Great shot...the ceremony of feeding the crows after death.
    The Indian lifestyle has numerous such ecofriendly customs. Crows are scavengers and without them our cities would have been very dirty.
    The rat too is revered for the same purpose...it has Ganapati as a protector!
