Origami Ceiling





Local Japanese Restaurant - A couple of days ago. Best thing about the place are the little hand-made birds dangling from the ceiling. Reminds me of what I looked up at when I was a baby - you remember - those bird mobiles? Blue for the boys. Pink for the girls. Some of them you wound up and the birds moved around. Later on they got fancy with battery powered jobs.

These paper birds are wind-powered. When someone opens the restaurant door, a bit of a breeze and the birds all flutter.
