Great photo - and I can't help but notice how the shadow looks just like a zeppelin! All things of the air...
ReplyDelete'Twas a nice day, wasn't it? Mr. Gull seems in deep thought...or maybe just takin' in the ocean breeze :)
ReplyDeleteI was going to say, his shadow looks like a fish! But that I've seen Patrice's comment, I agree, more blimp-y!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful photograph! Resting on one leg, I see! :)
ReplyDeleteIt kinda looks like "The Hindenburg"... oh the humanity!
ReplyDeleteHeh, heh! Yeah, I kinda felt like breaking into a chorus of "Kashmir" myself, looking at that shadow.
