Nature A Gull Named Dorian Gray?

A Gull Named Dorian Gray? · 07:29 PM

Like most scientists, I love symmetry - which prompted me to take a shot of this gull producing a mirror image in shallow water. While the flesh-and-blood bird is none-too-attractive, the reflection appears decayed and cadaverous thus reminding me of the classic story.

The real bird looks asleep, but the reflection is awake. A lovely touch.
