Capable of silencing the noisiest of minds.Ĭaptivated by the sight before me, and filled with that priceless silence borrowed from them, I kept gazing contemplatively.Īnd the distinctions between the gulls, the sea and the sky, blurred more and more.Īnd a rare moment came, when I became the Seagulls, the Sea and the Sky, all at once.Since eight years, our monthly desktop wallpapers challenge is a Smashing favorite that wouldn’t be possible without the tireless efforts of talented designers and artists from across the globe. The tranquility of those seagulls was beyond perfect. Right in front of me stood these gorgeous birds in hundreds…their bright white and silver selves merging gently with the cyan water of the sea…which in turn disappeared effortlessly in the clear, light blue of the morning sky at the horizon. Now, almost everything coincided with my line of sight. Not to scare them away, I sat down on the wooden planks of that rustic pier, just a few meters far from them. In those blissful moments, I was the only human being on the wharf. I was not invited to the gathering, but I was not unwelcome either. Almost all of them looking in one direction, as if meditating in group. One of those, that turn out to be so unexpectedly right at times.Īs I approached the far end of the wharf, I saw a gorgeous flock of Seagulls. Just as I was leaving that charming little beach town called Fairhope, something occurred to me and I stopped by this rather unassuming wharf.Ī last minute kind of a decision.
