Friday Photo 17: Mouille Point Seagull

Posted by Greg in Greg, Outdoors, Photography on Fri, 22 January 2010 7:19 PM / 4 comments

Spotted this gull near the lighthouse in Mouille Point, Cape Town. He stared me down as I approached to within a meter or so from him, all the while squawking and screeching at me. I assumed he was asking for a little something to eat, and imagined he was doing so in a decidedly posh voice with just a hint of the Bergie in it.

Jy wet mos wat eke meen, né my bra?

Mouille Point Seagull (c) Greg Pillhofer, 2009 I like the depth in the shot, and was very pleased with the result, especially as I haven’t needed to make any significant changes to it after the fact. Moerse mooi, ek se!

    Nice shot! Looks like the gull was still talking you when you took it. I don’t understand what he is saying, but I guess it’s Afrikans?
