Hitchcock

Seagulls.  Fuji F11
25th July 2012

On the way home tonight, the sky was filled with dozens of seagulls overhead, twisting and diving; the scene was reminiscent of a Hitchcock horror film.

I gathered that there must have been a cloud of insects up above that the birds were exploiting.

I was not sure if I liked the picture of the birds or not, but on looking at it less closely, I noticed the subtle patterns in the clouds, and then the random spread of the many birds giving lots of small individual parts of the image to look at.  More abstract than pictorial.

Just glad I could shelter in the car; it may need a wash now after the seagulls used it for target practice.
