1. I love this! (Your link is broken at CD)

2. Yum – I love this one too! The murder is perfect here alongside the painting. Approaching darkness.

3. Great haiku inspired on Kikaku’s one. I have repaired your link at Carpe Diem.

   • Thank you Kristjaan ..

4. I like both meanings. Been catching up on Dexter and other shows.

   • I am a DarkFiend too..

5. I had only learned recently about “murder” being a flock of crows. Figures, since they scavenge dead things. Crucifixions were a haven for crows – pecking out eyes, etc. Your haiku was more in the dark spirit of van Gogh, for my money!

   • Ah.. but I did choose the Van Gogh myself.. the swallow was a great image, but I painted it a little darker.

6. OOohhh, very dark and mysterious Bjorn!

   • Indeed – sometimes we have to paint with ink

7. I do love the way the English language has come up with all sorts of collective nouns. “Murder of crows” is so incredibly descriptive!

   Flights and Gulps of Swallows

8. Damn, Bjorn, that was perfect….the total package – VanGogh tops it off….

9. Great imagery…intense!

10. Bjorn, this is brilliant

    Cheers!
