Jail Break!

Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 26 August 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

The bird from yesterday and two of her friends made a break for it when the owner left a door open. He quickly corralled them though.

You've caught a nice moment of action. It could be funny if one were to escape through his legs. Herding chickens must be a novel experience for him. Nice shot.

The Great Escape! Fortunately - chickens are - well - chicken - and know where the food happens. I love this image and love Portland. What neighborhood was this in?

@Stephen Phillips: The tour booklet calls this the SE Stark - Burnside neighborhood.
