Those helicopters: what are they looking for? Where do they come from and where do they go? Apart from the flying doctor/ambulance helicopters, which are very recognizable, we don't really know whose helicopters they are or what they are doing there. Like constant paranoid impulses above our heads, they form an alternative architecture of the city sky.
We could call them modern city birds! In Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World (1932) every Alpha person has one! Actually are more and more animals, which in old times seem to avoid urban worlds, moving in with us. An exotic and funny example is the huge amount of parakeet-parrots you can find in a town like Amsterdam.
