Description At first the colours were vivid,
Then the sea washed out again.
And the colours washed out with it.
It was then I felt the masts of ships,
Dark and sharp against my thighs.

When I awoke I tasted blood,
Metallic...

Mostly salty.

Yes! If I see the one you mean, I had mistaken it for a little flag on top of that pole.

hehe, I am sure the seagull would be very offended if it heard you thought it was a flag.

The seagulls will be happy when I tell them.

Uh-huh!

Ah, the joys of 50mm 'normal' lenses; forcing the photographer to get closer to the subject and the viewer to look more closely at the photograph!
