Just two miles north of Canon Beach is an observation point overlooking the seagull rookeries of Ecola State Park. I photographed hundreds of birds there, but this one was the most memorable. It was perfectly poised in the sky over a distant freighter. Without the context of that freighter, it is just a nice description of a bird in flight. But with that context, the image speaks of the vast distances this bird must fly, and the image moves from description to expression.
