Borne

A Red Dorking rooster with deep red and black plumage, walking upright like a gentleman along a dirt hillside path above Medellín in a white cotton shirt, a red neckerchief and a straw hat with a black band, wing feathers at his cuffs, carrying on his back a wooden frame strapped over his shoulders and piled high with orange lilies, yellow roses, white calla lilies and red heliconias, the city spread across the valley below
