2 out of 3 - Bullet with butterfly wings

Challenge #2 in the 2 out of 3 - From a classic song. series. Hosted by duartix.

Challenge has finished

Bullet with butterfly wings - Smashing Pumpkins - Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage... The photo must contain at least 2 out of the following 3 elements: Smashing (adj.), Wing and Rage. This is a tribute to another fundamental band and a hymn of the nineties. Perhaps it is not a coincidence that this song's video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DowTH201wI ) is a clear homage to one of the most fundamental photo reports of the century: the Workers of Serra Pelada by Sebastião Salgado - a goldrush almost on the turn of the 21st century: http://www.girafamania.com.br/montagem/fotografo-sebastiao-salgado.html

Red Bull does give you wings...

A smashing example of pure coincidence: in this bus station scene in Zurich, the ice cubes in a Red Bull poster give this girl a pair of wings, while the top of the can completes the magic by creating a halo ring above her head.
