Raven

Halloween is coming up shortly, and there are some images we immediately associate with this time of year. 




The Raven is one such image.  I took this photo in Budapest Hungary.  It brought to mind Edgar Allan Poe's poem, The Raven.  -- "nevermore"!  However this is the raven of Matyas Corvinus.  In the 15th century his mother sent for him with a raven with a gold ring in its mouth.  Matyas went on to become one of Hungary's greatest kings.
