Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Venture #2 | Benjamin Dowse

About halfway up the red rock face, the telltale white-washing of their droppings on the rock gives away the nest's location. Its location is the first clue as to the incredible lives these creatures lead. Although not one of them is in sight, enough can be gathered simply from observing their home.
Two boulders jut from the side of the mountain and the patterns of white on their faces show exactly their favorite spots to sit on the rock, as they use their incredible eyes to survey their territory.
Their territory. Clearly this includes the sky. Only absolute masters of the air could even manage to reach the nest, let alone live there. The falcon owns the sky. It is the fastest animal on the earth. Looking up onto the majestic mountains that are its home, it is clear that I am merely a visitor.
