A once-in-lifetime experience, seeing this Barn Owl flying overhead, in the middle of the day!
Wow those are amazing. They look like character studies because of the background.
Also I can hear the silence in them. In cartoons they take a parachute and whip it around to give the cartoon big birds flapping sounds but - uh uh! Just . . . . . . . nada.
I was thinking similar, that it almost looks like a whitebox photo, but, well, blue…
That’s called a foley, right? That always seemed like a fun job.
The silence I think has a bigger impact than most flappy noises. Something big and impressive with super stiff feathers like a condor is probably very awesome, but owls do have pretty large wingspans but the silence makes them feel like some secret black ops helecopter that you cant hear sneaking up on you.
Yes exactly it’s kind of eerie because this giant thing makes . . like . . negative sound??
Like the backwards-talking dancing little person on Twin Peaks. Your brain goes, “Woah.”
The owls aren’t what they seem!
If you like things with creepy owl imagery, I watched Late Night with the Devil recently and I don’t think anything else has had more owl imagery in a creepy context! Owls on the “commericial break,” that creepy owl themed Illuminati party, they just keep popping up. 😅
