Bird Remains, Salt Lake City, Utah - November 29, 2002

I was driving up in the avenues after trying out this sub place for lunch. My destination was this church with a gate that I wanted to photograph. I parked my car, loaded my camera, and noticed a dead bird on the road beside me. It was not only did, but dismembered and pulverized. Some vehicle had run over it and spread the parts around. The bird, now separated and one foot long, drew me in. I found this to be a fascinating, yet grotesque site. Its wings were spread; it was looking forward, trying to fly away, to escape. How fitting, to get mowed down while trying to escape.
