You might spot me at Kirra Beach, the South-Eastern end of the Gold Coast, Australia,  if you like beach walking like myself... but there is more ! My son Jeff (*jif3d*, here at Rendo, it helps to advertise, ooops)... he took this pic of me in 2000, then manipulated it in photo-shop and it's still one of my favourites. Just very briefly about my past... *born in East Prussia; *grew up in Berlin, West Germany; *migrated to "OZ" in 1960, (not the Wizard of Oz) but...AUSTRALIA ! I guess  I was more into '2D' since early childhood, and thinking that my son Jeff may have inherited some of my artistic skills, because he translated them into '3D'. I am hooked on photography, since I discovered cameras... that's it in a nutshell. BTW - one of my fav.quotes.... ** I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is trying to please everybody !**                                              that's a wrap... Cheers Brigitte.

When I see or a similar situation, you either distracted or is no camera on hand. And afterwards get annoyed to have missed this motif. You're a lucky guy and sharing it ..... wonderful

That is the biggest seagull I've ever seen. But why is that model plane sitting on top of the tree? Is it Christmas down there?

This is so cool! Marvelous shot! I love the lines of the trees, and the wonderful combination of metal and heart beating flying things. Pretty outline of a cloud in the top right corner too. Lovely shot!

Well, once again I'm rummaging through your early gallery---2013 to be exact---where no one has been for a few years, and it's dark and quiet, and the floors creak and the wind howls through the windows...I was hoping to see a guard or maybe a mouse, but nada...it's silent and empty. (You should put out some snacks...) Our early galleries need to be swept, lit, cared for. But they're not. They're dark and creaky, with bundles of sage brush rolling by....Anyway, yes, you got a great moment of a plane and a bird, and the plane looks like it's about to take the top of that tree off, and the gull is definitely coming towards you, aiming for your camera. Love the shot. I can see why you're concerned that the gull might ram into you. A witty, crazy serendipitous shot, and those trees seem like guideposts for the flyers. A delightful bday gift for Priska!
I just put in a line---I don't know if it'll work (I'll find out when I post this!), but I like how you divide your comments into sections. So I did it too. Why not, I've never done it before, I think...
