Elephant's Trunk: The Sparrow

[Rodd]

A close in on one of the most iconic pillars in the northern sky.  I call it the Sparrow, for a bird jumps out at me.  Its interesting to note that not one person I have shown this to feels the same.

I can sort of see a birds head but it looks like it has a bats wing !

Lovely close up.
