EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1970s, a time when television was a source of entertainment and wonder. The image showcases Mr Blackstone's beloved pet Tawney owl perched on an oak tree, engrossed in watching TV. With its piercing eyes and wise demeanor, the owl reminds us of the famous saying: "A wise old owl sat on an oak; The more he saw the less he spoke". Captured during a moment of tranquility, this photograph beautifully captures the essence of nature blending with modern technology. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we can't help but ponder why humans aren't more like this wise old bird - observing silently and absorbing knowledge from our surroundings. The juxtaposition between the ancient wisdom embodied by the owl and the contemporary medium of television adds a touch of humor to this image. It serves as a gentle reminder that even in our fast-paced world filled with noise and chatter, there is great value in silence and observation. This print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to an era where simplicity met innovation. It invites us to reflect on our own habits as viewers while marveling at nature's ability to captivate even its most enigmatic creatures.
