Life as an image


Watching the last remains of the bird I am struck by the similarity to the Archaeoptheryx that lived some 150 milion years ago and found buried in limestone layers in Bavaria in 1861, you may have seen the pictures before. This first bird was very primitive but the direct ancestor to today´s birds. Not much seem to have happened since then. Back to 2010; all life but bacteria is now gone. No maggots, no nothing. Bye bye blackbird, about time for a burial.
