Fathom: Buzzards on Street Lamps

If you like travel and travel books, the new web site, Fathom, has natural appeal.

From a Fathom article by Rob Long:

Finding your way around Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, should be easy to do. Wide, ramshackle boulevards radiate from plazas and monuments — this is French Africa, after all — and even the hovel-lined dirt alleys are organized into a relentless grid. Buzzards perch on top of the street lamps that line the avenues, making you feel, as you drive down the street, like a float in a creepy parade.
