TAKE OFF

Or is it landing – I don’t remember which.
I have been wanting to post this shot for some days but it just didn’t look nice to me for the reason that the colour of the sea – because of the cloudy skies - was the same colour as the gull. So I had some free time to experiment and give it some colour. Here is the result.
Joke:A four-year-old boy and his father went to the beach. There was a dead seagull lying on the sand. The boy asked his father, ''Dad, what happened to the birdie?''
His dad told him, ''Son, the bird died and went to heaven.''
Then the boy asked, ''Did God throw him back down?''
Thank you so much for looking and for the lovely comments on yesterday's shot.
