EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a seagull gracefully soaring above the Old Port of Marseilles, France. The vibrant blue sky serves as a stunning backdrop for this majestic bird, its wings outstretched against wispy clouds. It is a rare sight to witness such an elegant creature flying with such freedom and grace amidst the heart of historic Marseilles. The Old Port holds great significance in the city's history and culture, serving as a hub for fresh fish markets and bustling shops. Consequently, seagulls are never far away from this lively area. However, it is not often that one sees them against such a glorious mid-summer sky like in this photograph. The seagull's white and black plumage stands out vividly against the azure background, symbolizing both purity and resilience. As it soars through the air with webbed feet suspended above the ocean below, it embodies a sense of isolation yet also represents liberation. Jon Bower skillfully captures this moment of tranquility within his lens, showcasing not only the beauty of nature but also highlighting ornithology at its finest. The distant view of Marseilles' corniche adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the gull's solitary flight. In summary, this breathtaking image portrays an awe-inspiring scene where nature meets urban life—a reminder that even amidst bustling cities like Marseilles, moments of serenity can be found when we take time to appreciate our surroundings.
