Why Gannet? Why Search the Sea?
- Gannet Girl
- Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans. What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

Beautiful in its simple tranquility and stark color contrasts.
Wow! I loved all the detail when I looked at the photo full-frame.
Peaceful.
In my large view the tree bodies wear a confetti of brilliantly colored jewel like threads. A substitute for the coat of spring they wait for. Beautiful.
Wow...it's amazing what we see when viewing at full size. It really sparkles. What a peaceful place.
Welch ein wunderschönes stimmungsvolles Winterbild, als ob sich Winter und Frühling streiten, wer ist der Stärkere?
Ein sehr ausdruckstarkes Bild, wie gemalt.
