A fine capture with that new lens Jan. That gull don't appear to be to happy that you woke him up. Nice work.

Looks like you caught this guy flat footed, Jan and he seems a bit perturbed about it. Maybe he wasn't happy with the hour either! I like the nearly monotone look of this and the DOF on the background is great. Very nice -

I'm not sure but I'd guess this was a seagull! I love the way they hang about there on the Millennium Bridge and this was a great test for that lovely new lens. Lots of nice detail here.

It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the product of a deranged imagination.

What a cutie! Or should I say grumpy? lol That face is somethin'
But you took a great photo of this lone gull. I am so used to them that they don't even seem interesting to me anymore, but this photo of yours is a bit different. Nice work Jan. Verena

Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.
