@Alun: Have you tried the Halzephron Inn at Gunwalloe? A cracking old smugglers haunt with the best kept beer in the area. I can recommend their Doombar.

Very nice. The bird makes the shot. Without it the whole thing would not balance as well.

Great shot. The B&W works brilliantly. I like the way the lone seagull anchors the shot too. Brilliant.

Looks like a scene from an old movie about sea fishing, although there is no boat to invite this thought, that is what it reminds me of, great shot and how much did you pay the seagull

By the way you never answered my question about the cooling towers or is it something you are keeping to yourself

The gull is amazing and gives balance playing with houses.
Your technique is admirable ;o)
