Pigeon Detecting

On the left a view from the Telford aqueduct in Congleton. The old mill used to be home to many pigeons. Once the mill was converted to luxury flats these were evicted with use of wire anti-perching devices under the eves and other places and a dovecote was built for some doves (presumably deemed posh enough to continue living there). Now though things have moved on and the dovecote itself has been boarded up and plastic "doves" have been perched around it while the bemused real doves sit on the roof.

The pic on the right is of Longton Station - with "windows" and "doors" painted over the boards covering the holes where the real windows and doors used to be.

I'm sure all this is some sort of metaphor for our relationship to the world.
