Watching the Waves

This photo captures the timeless interaction between the ocean and land as observed through the lens of the seagull. The dynamic movement of the crashing waves contrasts harshly with the stillness of the rock and the flowers. The seagull, perched for a moment before taking off again in its endless quest for food, grounds the image by focusing our attention on the seagull’s interpretation of the landscape before it. While to us, the power and the beauty of the ocean are mesmerizing, to the seagull it may be just another day in its fight for survival. Or perhaps, the seagull is also entranced by the magic of the waves.
