Necessary Goose

The Case for the Goose

Four photographs, before and after. Drag across each one and decide for yourself.

A Canada goose standing in the middle of a two-lane road at dawn. The same road at dawn with no goose.
Exhibit A. A road. Now it's going somewhere.
A goose standing on a wet road at night beside a line of cars in heavy fog. The same line of cars in the fog with no goose.
Exhibit B. Without the goose, this is just traffic.
A goose in silhouette beside a wet highway under a golden sky. The same highway under a golden sky with no goose.
Exhibit C. A beautiful sunset, finally given a point.
Two orange autumn trees in a parking lot, with a very small goose on the pavement. The same two trees with no goose.
Exhibit D. It's there. It made all the difference.

How this site works

I take a photo and add the goose. Then I open 2B on my phone, add the photo, write a caption and press Publish. It's on this page right away.

The banner, the notices and the house rules work the same way. There's no website login, and nobody to wait on. Every change goes in a permanent record, including the ones made in poor judgment.

If it can keep up with the geese, it can keep up with your specials. 2B Website is made by Destiny Macro.
