Houstonist Flickr Photo of the Day - Bird Swarm

The shot from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor phototainable.

Here's a super-cool photo of the Alley Theatre and the Alley garage downtown — but there's something else going on. As the photographer explains: "Experiment to capture the mass of birds 'swarming' downtown Houston, this long exposure creates a rather sinister black mist of birds." It's a totally weird effect, and we love it.
