Monochrome Monday - Seagulls

Click to enlarge and see the detail.

If you've been following my other blog, The Pedalogue, you'll know that I recently spent three days on the lower Sunshine Coast. Our last day there dawned grey and rainy but I did manage to go out onto Davis Pier to catch some photos of the seagulls that hang around there. There must have been at least a hundred gulls sitting on the ledge of the pier, and as I approached, they'd fly off to another area to sit. These were the brave ones that remained until the last possible moment before taking off. I like how this looks in black and white as it reminds me of the day's rather drab colour.

You have caught the grey atmosphere perfectly. I can recall similar occasions on holiday.

I love the way you can see a seagull that appears to be looking straight at the camera, others looking off, and then the one in the air. Wonderful shot.

Wonderful photo. Around here, the gulls aren't so shy.

Cute photo, and it reminded me something silly but funny: Finding Nemo's seagulls crying "Mine, mine!". LOL

The entire grey atmosphere is in the picture. It doesn't seem to disturb the seagulls occupations.
Seagulls are perfect in B&W;

I've always had a thing for sea gulls- ever since I was kid and we went to Maine in the summer. Dad would take us down to Schoodic Point with Gramp and we'd feed the gulls. I never see one without remembering those wonderful times.
