The Flight

The seagull at home. The Black Sea, at Sozopol, in Bulgaria.

The flight of birds is something that fascinates me. If I could choose something that animals can do and humans can't, then I would definitely choose flight. Me, who's afraid of flying! I don't know why I'm afraid when someone else is at the controls. If I were to fly the plane myself I would be braver, even if I am a poor driver.

In this vein, if I could fly, if I could take care of myself, I would certainly be much braver...

If, if, if... no ifs and buts don't work in reality. We crawl on the ground and birds fly in the sky!

Whenever I'm at sea I'm fascinated by the flight of seagulls. It seems to me that no other bird masters the air so well, glides so easily and elegantly. Plus this bird swims too! More recently, it does well on land. In recent years I have seen a lot of gulls in my town which is 200 km from the sea.

I love to watch the gulls fly and I love to photograph them. Here are some of my attempts...

A note: @moonappics is @bluemoon's second account. It was born to post in an old, pre-Hive app called Appics (kind of like Instagram on the blockchain). With the transition to Hive, Appics disappeared and @moonappics was no longer needed. After more than two years of inactivity, @moonappics wants and tries a second existence in Hive. I would like to point out that @moonappics and @bluemoon have a common photo base and there is no unauthorized use. Thank you!
