Skywatch Friday-Man Made vs Natures Own

An airplane that flys past my house every Saturday

A Turkey Vulture that flys past my house ever Saturday



I prefer that Turkey Vulture myself. I love to watch it soar in the sky and wish I could be up there with it looking at my tiny house with the air guiding me along. If only I had wings.

Not being an engineer, I find the bird much more beautiful than the plane. Lovely detail you've captured of the feathers.

I'd rather watch the Turkey Vulture too.
I love TV's!

Amazing picture of the bird in flight. Hope you have a great afternoon.

Vulture wins, hands down, for me, too! They're quieter, prettier, and instead of polluting the environment, they actually clean it up...

Nothing compares to a bird in flight--so quiet and free.

I see airplanes everyday. I can hardly wait to see my first Turkey Vulture! Lucky you!

Great comparison shots. I don't think the Turkey Vulture could deliver me to a sunny beach in Mexico, so I will count both as favourites.

Well Kim---I guess we need both.. I love the birds and would love to see a Turkey Vulture... But--we need those big airplanes also I guess...

For me, I'd much rather see the vulture.

Hugs,
Betsy

Ah, great photos. Well done!

Shelley said...

You are so clever w/ both of these photos! Excellent!

Absolutely no contest! The natural bird wins hands down every time, very clever juxtaposition though.

All good wishes from the UK.

Such a terrific comparison. I love both photos but my fave would have to be the vulture too.
