Last week’s article on Towards Zero made me realise that one scene stood out in sharper contrast in my recollection of the book. I thought we could break down the visual impact of this scene and extrapolate some useful techniques for our own writing. The scene I’m thinking of is a relatively simple one.

Don’t read too much into this, but I have become an obsessive bird spy. I blame LaWONian Ben Goldfarb. He wrote a post about his birdcam (and the board game Wingspan, which I still intend to try), and it made me think that a birdcam would be a great Mother’s Day gift.
