"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."

Thing 6

This glass plate negative is part of the Tyrell Photographic Collection in the Powerhouse Museum. It is estimated to be dated at the turn of the century. It was found it in the "Commons" section of Flickr.

I found it interesting because of the age of the photo as well as the unique probability of capturing five baby Kookaburras "sitting in an old gum tree". They don't look to be laughing, but maybe they are listening attentively to the joke first.
