Every winter, hundreds of thousands of starlings migrate from northern Europe to the countryside near Rome in search of a warmer climate. As dusk falls, the birds take flight in dense cloud-like formations known as murmurations. In his series, "Murmur", artist Richard Barnes photographs European starlings as they coalesce into dark amorphous shapes that dance above Rome. Made over the course of two years, Barnes’ photographs evoke a sense of mystery in the seemingly choreographed movements of the migrating birds, whose humbling aerial displays remind us that many aspects of nature remain just outside the realm of human understanding. "Murmur" by Richard Barnes on display, pre-security, in Terminal 3. https://www.flysfo.com/museum/exhibitions/richard-barnes-murmur This image was posted on November 04, 2018.

Human vision allows for the perception of only a minute portion of the electromagnetic spectrum—we see this as visible light in a range of color, from violet on one end of the visible spectrum to red on the other.
