resting gulls
Sunset at Ricketts Point earlier this week seemed to be pacifying the resident seagulls into settling down for the evening.

Denis, I don’t know. After that Sea Gull shrine encounter, now whenever I see them I smell them? Probably in my head. It was soooo revolting pungent though. http://localgirlforeignland.com/2015/10/02/kabushima-shrine-samemachi-aomori-japan/
