Gulls Watching the Waves

This photo looks like a really warm summers day doesn't it but it isn't. It is winter here in Australia and it was very chilly and blowing a gale.

We don't normally get waves on this side of the bay as I said in the last couple of photos and even the gulls seem surprised to see waves.

This photo is from Fly Point looking back at the centre of Nelson Bay in the distance.

It’s a beautiful beach and looks so summery!

It’s like a game of dare that the seagulls are playing.

Great capture of a fine but windy scene

@loweygrace Looks are deceiving, it was so cold and incredibly windy.

@wakelys I think the gulls were pinned to the ground due to strong winds. They didn't dare take off.

Wonderful scene beautifully captured Babs:)

Looks like the gulls are thinking it twice before trying to fly over the waves in search of food. Beautiful image.

Looks chilly to me!

Being Australian, I believe you captured the energy of the wind and the resulting chill. fav

Nice shot- that would be a fairly typical day on the east coast of the USA on the Atlantic Ocean (warm or cold). But we wouldn't have that pretty blue color.
