Last night I saw a magnificent flock of Visas

Peculiar image of the week.

“Visa has elements of Jeffersonian democracy, it has elements of the free market, of government franchising – almost every kind of organization you can think about. But it is none of them. Like the body, the brain, and the biosphere, it’s largely self-organizing.” – Dee Hock, founder and  chief executive officer emeritus of Visa International and  Visa USA.
