August 15, 2011 -- Looking at Itself

Who says that birds have no sentient quality?  Walking along the boardwalk in Atlantic City, we passed the newest hotel, still under construction. This place, "Revel" has as its facade a mirror-like glass. So clear is this glass that it reflects clearly. Obviously this gull seemed to have found itself. Or perhaps it's mate? Its new lover? It's mother? It's child.  With apologies to Lamont Cranston, "Who knows what lurks in the mind of gulls?"


I modified this photo to look as if I had taken it using Fuji Velvia slide film. I like the saturated brown look of the boardwalk against the greenish gray of the mirror.
