Silhouetted

Tom took some amazing pictures of the Eiffel Tower silhouetted against the evening sky.

It was true that the birds were everywhere! little greenish birds flitting among the trees; larger grey-brown birds flying low; fairy-like blue and yellow birds that circled round the car as it ran east towards the far, looming mountains of the Djurdjura; larks that spouted music like a fountain of jewels as they soared into the quivering blue; and great, stately storks, sitting in their nests on tall trees or tops of poles, silhouetted against the sky as they gazed indifferently down at the automobile.

Standing silhouetted in the doorwat through which they had entered the vault was the man who wasn't pleased to see them.
