Grey Pigeons

These shots were taken while touring the fort in Jodhpur, Rajasthan.

A heroic pigeon named G.I. Joe saved the lives of a thousand soldiers in World War 2 after British troops had established a position within an Italian town that was due to be bombed by allied planes. Communication equipment was down and the only means of stopping the raid was to attach a hastily written message to G.I. Joe and send him to the HQ. G.I. Joe flew 20 miles in 20 minutes arriving at the air base whilst the planes were taxiing on the runway. Disaster was averted with 5 minutes to spare. G.I. Joe received the ‘Dickin’ medal for his bravery.

New Neighbors

These shots were taken by my 11 year old daughter. I find it very interesting to see the world through her eyes. Not very great shots, but she spent some time tip toeing, observing and waiting patiently for the pigeon to get close to the other one.
