Description


On the eve of the longest day, the seagulls seem to be anxious for the sun to go down. Perhaps because their bellies were filled hours ago and they can only truly rest when the light is well faded. I know how they feel!

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed.
