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.

gorgeous shot. gorgeous spot on earth. one of my favorites. (((((gg)))))
I just saw this after being very cranky on the phone with a colleague - and all my frustration crumbled like ashes.
my prayers for you...
Your photo immediately "caught me". As I continued to look at it, I realized there is not a separation between the sky and the water...they meld together. Perhaps ashes and ocean do indeed meld together. Prayers for all you continue.
Beautiful picture.
the photo amazes and reminds me. I miss many a thing from our time in Oregon, including ever changing moments of intense beauty at the coast.
Sending love.
