I watched these Pacific Gulls for ages, trying to find a new way to take a picture of a gull at rest. Then I worked out that they looked much more interesting in the sky. A few (well, many) shots later I came up with this.
I dont know if the sky defines the birds, or if the birds define the sky - or maybe neither does either.
But I like the symmetry of the picture.
You can find more skies at SkyWatch Friday.
Enjoy the pictures.

Hello Stewart, I would say in this case the birds define the sky. It is a pretty blue sky. Great capture, happy skywatching!
What a beautiful capture, Stewart!! Love your clear, blue, blue skies and the birds are the perfect accent! Hope you have a great weekend!
nice shot either way. sure hope you were safe but successful in the lighting. :)
make that lightning. :)
Beautiful capture! I had Blue Skies this week also. Happy Skywatching. Lynne
Beautiful gulls and beautiful blue sky!
I'm envious of people who can get flight shots...I think I'm just too old and too slow. This one is beautiful...and a conundrum...which defines which! Either way it's a lovey picture. Be careful out there taking storm pictures !
Makes me want to be at the beach :)
Beautiful picture Stewart!I realy enjoyed seeing it!!Great shot!
Have a lovely day!
Dimi..
Lovely shot.
Gulls are great!
And your post is perfect for SWF!
Gull do look much better soaring. :) Catching lightning? You are a brave soul.
a beautiful composition Stewart:-)
Peaceful image with both calm and movement. Well caught!
I like the inflight shot Stewart and how they are aligned with each other! Nice job!
Sure could use some of those blue skies. :)
Great capture.

Synchronised flying gulls. A new animal olympic sport possibly?
They don't define, they just compliment each other lad. Like a flat cap and a whippet ;)
Either way, whoever defines what, it's a pretty shot! (I'm edging toward the bird defining the sky, but what do I know?)
The sky makes those birds, beautiful photo.
Wonderful photo, birds + sky = perfect :)
Lovely pair! Birds in flight and clear blue sky look fantastic!
A terrific shot Stewart! Watching gulls in flight is so relaxing.
Beautiful capture!Have a great day!

Gulls just want to have fun!
How very lovely!
I love the symmetry of the birds in flight too. great shot!
Either way, because one is much less without the other...
Nice photo Stewart!
