Swans, the black ones

Swan Taxis, Swan River, Swan hotel, Swan café, Swan Opal Shops, the swan logo for the city council AND the local governor.

I’m guessing Perth has something to do with Swans. The emblem of Perth is 2 black swans. Oh yeah right! I remember: The discovery of a BLACK swan was very unexpected and shocked Europe. Even better, a Dutch man discovered it… Or did he, I’m guessing some aboriginal must have spotted the black swam a little earlier. Europe was under the impression that the only color you could get a swan was white, nothing was further from the truth

Anyway the Black Swan example is used as a principle in presentations as a warning for people who aren’t ready for the unexpected or change. This dogma is underlined by this discovery, the capture and the presentation of this freak of nature. Funny.

I did see a black swam in the distance but didn't get a picture.
