Description Okay just one seagull and one shipwreck. A Turkish ship which ran 'aground' months before this picture was taken. It may still be there now. (Bloubergstrand, Cape Town, South Africa) Not the prettiest one I've ever seen, that's for shore, I mean sure! I think what I like best about this pic is how golden the sand is, sparkly. Oh and the bubbly water.

I've looking through my photos and found one with seagull. It was so close to my phone (I took photo using phone).

Sure thing

Omgosh...it's a sort of oxymoron this photo me thinks, the crude, creepy shipwreck behind the beautiful blue waters and golden shiney () sands. And of course that adorable sea gull. Even your gulls completely own our british ones...your country is just too awesome.

Also, love the footprints!

AmandaDrage [2010-05-07 18:37:53 +0000 UTC]

Oh I love this - the sparkly sand, foamy waves and the gull with the long shadow!! - Shipwrecks are spooky. But sort of fascinating too.

Hmm Mel I really like the gull on the beach with the shadow... would I be able to do a little painting of this sometime? If I find the time that is

Aw thanks, Amanda yes at least it wasn't a shipwreck where people died
Hahaha of course you may, you never need to ask even. I have another one with this gull, but the shadow is better in this pic. I like that the other one has a bit of mountain in it. Maybe I'll chuck it in Scraps.

Wow o_o This picture looks like it has an awesome story to tell. I think it's the way the composition is; it just flows from the ship, to the gull, to the footprints. <333 Wonderful shot as always, you're so photographically talented

Glad you like it! I had another photo where I think it looks cuter, but I had to decide between these two shots, I guess haha. I liked the water better in this one. Thank you

cerona [2010-04-20 21:36:15 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow what a beautiful photo! I love the colours of the sunset and the gorgeously sparkly sand, and of course the cute little seagull Oh how I wish I was there.. It's actually getting pretty warm here now, so I shouldn't complain really.. The shipwreck in the background actually adds a lot to the atmosphere of the picture, and I don't think it would look as complete without it for some reason.

Thanks a lot, Malin, hehe. I'm glad it's warming up for you. Cooling a lot here now, it's quite a chilly night. Enjoy your Springtime It does add an element of intrigue, I guess

What an amazing capture Mel!
I love the golden colors in this photo; you can see it in the sand and the sun.
But I especially like how that seagull has been captured..
He looks so lonely and so little compared to that huge shipwreck.
Poor little fella

PearlyPony In reply to WoodWitch45 [2010-04-21 00:14:46 +0000 UTC]

Thanks very much Hehehe, don't worry there were other seagulls there afterwards too. But I do think this one was quite good at dramatic posing

The ship makes a great contrast with the peaceful beach, I don't know why but that kind of ships so bigs makes me scared (I guess I'm crazy)
Lovely seagull I love the sounds of those birds, really miss the sea... ;_;
