Crowd sourcing experiment - Help me find an image

I need to find a beautiful image I saw once and I can't seem to find again.

It is a chain link fence, where the upper v's formed by the chain link fence separate, take the form of birds, and fly away.

Even if you can't find the image, keep this post kicked so that, maybe, somebody else will remember seeing that image and post the link here.

Many thanks!

I tried all sorts of combinations on the Google search engine

chain link fence,
transform,
metamorphosis,

And none of them worked for me.

Maybe I'm not doing it exactly as you are.

Can you show me the exact query string you entered in the search engine?

I am very curious now.

Thanks!

Strange things afoot down at the google.

I didn't get it this last time either, but I did get it on page 3 with birds, fence, flying.

The internet is a deep and mysterious place.

At any rate, I'm glad you are reconnected with the image - I've had that exact thing happen with other cherished artwork that I may never see again.

since it seems a nod to Escher's work:

Didn't find it, but I don't have a blazing fast internet connection.

I haven't seen the image you are describing.

I'd remember it.

Going to put that on my office door. I work on a youth unit at a psychiatric hospital.
