Skywatch - A lone seagull at sunset

This was an early spring’s sunset taken at St Mark's Square, Venice this year.


The sunset was lovely and that very moment in time was magical for me. I enjoyed this view of the bird flying over the orange sunset along the way.



This fella in the picture was kind enough to pose for me. It only took one look through the viewfinder from where I was standing and I managed to press the shutter before he flew off.



I was able to get another shot of the seagull at a different angle. I liked the simplicity of it and also it seemed so content. Lovely and calming, this gull sure seemed to enjoy watching the sun sink below the horizon.
