'Droppings'

Even this famous Dutch admiral had to accept the 'droppings' on his head of this maritime pigeon. I suppose that this 'respectless' gull (lol) has thought: "The admiral might have ruled the sea, but not the air."

One for Manic Monday.

I'm just happy that no one will ever build a statue in my honor! Poor Admiral Michiel Adriaenszoon de Ruyter. A fine MM post, Cornelius.

He should have been wearing one of those wide brim hats! You would think the gulls would have more respect than that! Nice Manic Monday shot, Mr. C.

It is even dripping down his face! It is worse than graffiti! Good find and capture for this Monday Cornelius.

Oh!!!!! What a good one for MM! I remember a friend many years ago, actually received some falling poo that landed in her long hair. :)

Cornelius - Gulls have no respect for those honored with a statue - or any other perch for that matter, as they leave their matter on all objects with equal abandon. A good MM posting. Thad

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Light foot 1967

"The admiral might have ruled the sea, but not the air."

Hilarious, SEA. I think this Admiral must have spent a lot of time on the "Poop Deck!"

Great capture.

Mr C - this statue deserves better don't you think? Did you chase the gull away? I wonder if they have someone that cleans this handsome admiral daily. Great shot for Manic Monday. Don't know if you noticed, but I see a triangle on the front of the Admiral's uniform.

Good one for Manic Monday, Mr. C. Hopefully there was rain in the forecast to wash the droppings away, but with the clear blue sky I doubt. Very well captured & thanks for the chuckle.
