"I was told.....

....to look at the sky" says Seagull One! "You are so stupid"! says Seagull Two!

You need to enlarge this upside down look, to see it clearly.

Down in the Otago Harbour in NZ the town of Dunedin is built around the sea harbour and offers wonderful views all around. I was here for a bookclub meeting - always very interesting and the usual fabulous afternoon tea! The lemon cake was thick, moist and fragrant!

Three good things:
1. We had John to drive most of us down there, a 1 &1/2 hour journey.
2. The cat is sitting on the trampoline and I have thoughts of jumping on behind her - talk about flying pigs - this would be the cat version!
3. Its Friday and although I have no Catholic history, I do like fish on this day!

Looks like you'd get a good view in any direction here! Fun shot.

So long as the sky isn't falling down! Sounds like a very dedicated book group driving 1.5 hours - good idea to make it into a trip out though.

@judithg Do you think this seagull's name is Henny Penny?

Neat :)

[Mary Downing Hahn]

Very nicely caught and captioned. Dunedin is one of my favorite cities, especially the Otago Peninsula and the great auk center. Hope I see it again someday.

[❀ Lynn]

Made me laugh when I saw the gull looking upside down! Good catch.

[katy]

maggiemae, you are a riot! you never fail to make me laugh!

[richard saffold]

sea gull one is on the right track.

[👑 AnaZad]

The capture and your commentary are so funny :)

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

Your commentary reminds me of the book, "Johnathan Livingston Seagull". Not that that dialog was in it, but the book was about a seagull who wanted to learn about life and how to fly fast.

[Maggiemae]

@skipt07 I have that book in a bookcase somewhere Skip! A lovely story!

[Rick Schies]

That is really sharp looking enlarged

[Mac]

Terrific description! I'll be your Catholic connection. Love the angle of the bird! And, oh, we have a Dunedin, Florida!

[bkb in the city]

Great catch

[John]

I really like the perspective on this. The foreground draws you in and the background adds to the rich and complex composition.

[Maggiemae]

@riverlandphotos Ok, gotcha! Seafood patties tonight! We just about went to Dunedin when we were in Florida some years ago!

[Dianne]

Great pov and composition.

[Tracey]

Fabulous capture

What a lovely scene of the waterfront and Jonathan Livingston Seagull is looking as wise as ever :-)

[kali]

Great find and capture, that gull is like a contortionist!
Nice scene and composition too.

[Leonie M]

ha ha...I love seagulls, I find them very entertaining, and this one has certainly got his head twisted!!

[Keri]

Nice shot - I love the little stories that go with them.

[Bev]

Great shot! That seagull looks funny! If only I could move my neck like that!

[Alison Tomlin]

Love the view. Can almost smell the sea.
