A gull leaving in the water rippled sky

    With apology to Penny Harter who wrote the one line poem / haiku

    " mallards leaving in the water rippled sky"

    Sometimes you get what you ask for Pete, but I have a different way of seeing things :)
    If you wish to see this gull flying away low over the water the right way up just look back one on my stream. Thanks very much for your comments.

      I really wanted to suggest a crop, but then decided I liked the building and the boat, but I never dreamed you might do this! It's really rather good!

    19. petra** (10 months ago | reply)

      the perfect timing, Ian.
      impressive and I love the inversion here.
