A Couple of Thaum

"A Thaum is the basic unit of magical strength. It has been universally established as the amount of magic needed to create one small white pigeon or three normal-sized billiard balls."

- Terry Pratchett

As I walked into our carpark at work this morning I noticed these two Crested Pigeons (Ocyphaps lophotes) and snapped a few pics while getting as close as I could before they took off. This was my favourite, with them facing each other (though of course not looking at each other, their eyes being on the side of their heads).

I had to crop the photo a bit around them, and have just tweaked the sharpness and black point a touch, iirc.
