Photographer Gabe Farnsworth accidentally bumped into the tree this owl was nesting in. The owl woke up, tumbled out of the tree and assumed this irate posture.

The Owl Statue of Bohemia Grove

Posted on November 15, 2012 by YorkshireNed

Bohemia Grove is a private boys club in the woods near San Francisco. Founded as a getaway for artists, musicians and actors to perform plays and music in private, it ended up being colonised by big league politicians and businessmen who get hopelessly drunk and wee everywhere [perhaps a premonition of the future of Glastonbury Festivals none to distant future]. Anyway, they built a great big owl statue there where they do a little annual ritual which conspiracy theorists see as proof that all our leaders are Satanists and owls are evil or something. Which is probably a more flattering version than the truth that they’re blowing all your money on big piss parties in the woods but still, nice owl.

For furthering reading on the subject and other conspiracies, I recommend Them: Adventures with Extremists by Jon Ronson.

Owl At Sea

While walking through Huddersfield Train Station, of all places, I stumbled upon the striking artwork of Carla Lee. The centrepiece of her display was this striking image of an Owl looking down over a ship at sea. I’d recommend having a look at her website http://carlalee.co.uk/

Owl Beer From Colorado

Posted on March 23, 2012 by YorkshireNed

Not had the pleasure yet of this beer from Colorado brewery Odell’s but I am getting pretty obsessed with their amazing IPA which seems to be coming more and more commonplace here in the UK. Hope I can find one of these at a specialist shop, otherwise it will have to be on my to do list for my next visit to the States.
