Where the Eagles Dare

The eagle has been used by many nations as a national symbol, depicting power, beauty and independence. Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large powerful hooked beaks for tearing flesh from their prey, strong legs, and powerful talons. They also have extremely keen eyesight to enable them to spot potential prey from a very long distance. This keen eyesight is primarily contributed by their extremely large pupils which cause minimal diffraction (scattering) of the incoming light. This picture of an eagle rushing through a burning ring of thorns symbolizes the continued endurance and braveness of this majestic bird. Inspired from Alistair MacLean's classic World War II novel and the motion picture adventure this design is also destined to become a classic.
