Description
John Cabot is said to have discovered Newfoundland exactly 500 years ago in 1497 when he reportedly landed at Cape Bonavista. Newfoundlanders are justifiably proud of him, and erected a statue in his honor. Seagulls see things differently...it's dusk, and where's a gull to spend the night? How about a head and breakfast?

LOL, I imagine that John gets a little tired of the gulls using him for a roost! Excellent shot!

Hi, This statue is a mere five minute walk from where I live so this picture immediately caught my eye - Italian born John Cabot (whose name was far less English sounding before he moved to Bristol and settled in with his family) is one of a long line of adventurers to have visited Newfoundland, there is evidence of a Viking settlement here dated five hundred years before Columbus and St.Brendan the Navigator was said to have visited these shores as well...never stayed long though....I think it was the winters that changed their mind as I can't imagine they've decreased too much in ferocity in the last thousand years - global warming or no!
