storks.@.work


This was the result of wendy's constant bugging. The poor dear had been reminding me for days on end to capture this funny scene on camera. The display was seen through the window of a ground floor office just downstairs from where we work. Everyday when we passed by it on the way to lunch, it would never fail to amuse us tremendously.

And no wonder, for during the initial stage, the storks would be proudly taking their place in the display window, standing side by side, keeping the frontline steady with their heads slightly tilted into the air. Subsequently, they lost their tenacity (and literally, their helium), and some started to droop their heads down, while others broke free from thier chains and floated up towards heaven, only to encounter the harsh realities of the ceiling board above. Such is the scene captured here, during the dying moments of their existence. Goodbye storkies, and may you find happiness in flatness, as balloons who have swelled past their prime are wont to do.
