| The LOOK - Et BLIK!
*******************
GULLs may be
¤ Elegant,
¤ Fierce heroes in the surf, like KJÆRGÅRD's
Great Black-b. Gulls, 22-08-03!
¤ Roaming in freedom, like 'Jonathan Livingston
Seagull' or snowflakes (-buntings/ Coen 'Fargo',
BOERTMANN) over distant waves
¤ A bit cruel as in Daphne du MAURIER's and
HITCHCOCK's 'The Birds'.
______________
I never forget my first (when boy) look into an
icy, pallid - a bit frightening - iris of a
wounded Herring Gull.
Ring-billed, Kittiwake and Mew G. usually look
GENTLE and mild - not Cross.
But HENRY's Marvellous Portrait adds a flavour of
the brutal/cruel physiognomi seen in some larger
Ring-b. cousins.

DANSK
Jeg har oplevet Ring-billed - ligesom Ride og
Stormmåge - som Milde måger, modsat mere barske,
undertiden gnavne, større Havmåger.
HENRY's formidable(!) portræt modificerer mit
'billede'.
Many thx / Tack, HENRY!
