Nature's Trophy 5: Augury of the Black Dove - Emissary of a Troubled World

Nature's Trophy 5

Augury of the Black Dove 

- Emissary of a Troubled World 

An artist's view of a strange creature sculptured by Nature on driftwood. Driftwood is the remain of trees likened to the skeleton of animals and human. The haunting feeling runs through the artistic mind leading to the psyche and ultimately, creates collective consciousness.

 Dr Abe V Rotor

    

Augury is the practice from ancient Roman religion of interpreting omens from the observed behavior of birds. A white dove means “peace”. A black dove means “war”.  It could also pertain to matters of the heart, relationships, luck, misfortune, death, Remember the emissary bird in the biblical Noah's Ark? Have you seen a black dove in our real world?
