Convoy approaching Savannah, Georgia, 2014

A heavy fog greeted us as our ship neared Savannah’s harbor. Three boats followed in our wake, in convoy with hundreds of hungry seagulls. I placed my horizon line high in the frame, limiting the amount of featureless sky, and filling most of the image with gulls and ships. There is just enough blue/green color in the image to add a taste of the ocean itself to the image.

Yes, it was quite chilly. And the reason for the presence of the gulls is indeed food, largely tasty morsels rising from the bottom to the surface in the wake of our ship.

I love how these birds surround your image in flight. Must have been some fish around on the boats or something to attract them. The colors of the fog make it look quite chilly.
