black helicopters
this picture doesn't do justice to the strangeness of the situation in which it was captured. i was walking down the walnut street bridge with brian and mesh yesterday when suddenly lines of black helicopters started streaming over the horizon. they were staggered into groups of 10-15 and there must have been 5 or 6 passes of these large groups, followed by one bigger helicopter loping along at the end. thankfully i had my camera and was able to get off a few shots before they all flew by. very surreal...
...
no big plans for the weekend. hopefully getting caught up on sleep and spending some time with my parents. they get into town tomorrow night.
