Herring gull silhouette

Silhouette of one of the neighborhood herring gulls standing guard on the neighbor's chimney. From up here, the gulls have a great overview over the park, and as soon as any food touches the ground there the entire flock flies down to try and grab a bite.

This particular chimney also has a great view on something else in the neighborhood, our otherwise rather private rooftop balcony and roof windows. As soon as there's movement in our flat, the neighborhood is notified by our two roof gulls, who move back and forth between our roof and the chimney across the street.

In this picture, the black blur in the foreground is created by the balcony wall in front of the lens, and I felt that black and white set the mood quite well.
