About to land.. by maggiemae

About to land..

As usual by the sea, a cafe has seagulls fighting over who is going to get the leftovers! This was on the Viaduct in Auckland which was not full of people but many. All those boats worth millions parked there waiting for the charter which may never happen for a while.
Thankful for:
NZ looks pretty good for the Covid 19 outcome.,.. 23 days without a new case!
A great image and wonderful news re covid. It has not even peaked here yet!

They don't seem too troubled that a giant gull has just flown in, ha ha.

We still have the occasional new Covid 19 cases surfacing, not down to zero yet. You really got ahead of the game in New Zealand.

What an opportunist- quick shooting!

This image is brilliant - should be entered into a competition! Fav

wonderful forced perspective, fav

Brilliant shot of the giant gull! And great news about covid too πŸ™‚
June 14th, 2020  
Great shot. Lovely timing.
June 14th, 2020  
Ha ha, what a huge looking gull!

@pusspup You are right, Wylie - cropped it so it is a forced perspective!
June 14th, 2020  
so goood!

@onewing I think what @pusspup says - is the reason for this giant gull! Forced perspective. There were a lot of gulls all screeching around and I cropped the photo to get this one.!
June 14th, 2020  
Brilliant ! Love the way the perspective has made him look so huge!
June 14th, 2020  
Your timing is brilliant

Amazing timing and clarity for this photo. Fabulous to catch him in-flight like this, Maggiemae. Such good news about the Covid too. Gives me hope that there might be an end to it.
June 14th, 2020  
Great timing - I like the look on the man's face - the one in the back. Ha ha! :)
June 14th, 2020  
Your capture of the gull is magnificent. Fav.
June 14th, 2020  
WOW! Great capture!
June 14th, 2020  
Great timing!

Cheeky seagull. Looking at your photos in Auckland with people in cafes and restaurants almost seems alien to me in the UK. NZ has worked hard to get to where it is today in terms of Covid 19. Not sure how confident I will feel when we get to where you are.
June 14th, 2020  
Wow...Amazing timing and capture :)

Gorgeous capture!
Wonderful news #covid.
June 14th, 2020  
Great perspective - they are such large birds too!

And Ant says the shops & cafes are booming & he has so much work so really pleased for you all.
The harbour area of Auckland fascinated me, all this amazing yachts & boats....it’s a place to eat at in one of those fab restaurants!
June 14th, 2020  
Super timing!
June 14th, 2020  
Brilliant timing!

@juliedduncan What we look like when we are not being social!
June 15th, 2020  
@happypat Our apartment has a full kitchen, Pat but with the many restaurants and cafe's around, we haven't used it!
June 15th, 2020  
@maggiemae I have the exact same expression! Often! Hahaha!
June 15th, 2020  
Holy cow, what a sight! I think I'd opt to eat inside if possible!
June 15th, 2020  
@stray_shooter Perhaps that comment should be 'holy gull"! However that is a very familiar exclamation!
June 15th, 2020  
@maggiemae Ha ha why would you? 😘🀣🀣🀣
June 15th, 2020  
This is amazing!!!
June 17th, 2020  
Fantastic timing, Maggiemae!!! Big fav. :)
This would also look great with a solid background...if you know how to do that (I don't!)
