Thre Muses: Incredible Journey

Lintujen muutto on minun mielestäni sellainen uskomaton matka, joka on Kolmen Muusan teemana tällä viikolla. Miten ne jaksavat lentää niin pitkiä matkoja, miten ne osaavat suunnistaa oikeaan suuntaan, miten ne löytävät vuosi vuodelta takaisin samaan pihapuuhun? - Kollaasini lintukuvista useimmat ovat peräisin National Geographic -lehden liitteestä (huhtikuu 2004), kartta on vanhasta Valttujen Palojen karttakirjasta, muut kuvat erilaisista aikakauslehdistä ja mainoksista. - Klikkaa kuvaa, niin näet sen isompana!

Bird migration is really an incredible journey - which is the theme of the Three Muses this week. How can the birds fly so far away, how can they navigate to the right direction, and how are they able to return to the very same tree on my yard year after year? - Most of the bird images in my collage are from National Geographic magazine's supplement (April 2004), the map is from an old Readers' Digest Atlas, the rest of the images are from various magazines and ads. - Click the picture to see it larger!

  1. Eila, I love your idea of an incredible journey because the migration of birds from one hemisphere to another is the MOST incredible journey on earth. We are visited by birds in south-western Australia which have flown all the way across the world from Russia, so close to your country. I never cease to be amazed at their journey, how such tiny birds have the strength to fly over 20,000 kilometres to stay in the warmth of summer.
    I love your picture which is so beautiful and so lovingly done. Thanks so much for joining in the challenge and giving us all something to think about - the wonders of nature.

  6. What a smile maker this one is…
    I had an aunt who use to winter in the south. We called her
    The migrating bird, she would fill her car with baskets and baskets of things to take south…
    In the spring those baskets were filled with gifts for us all..

    Lovely artwork…
