photo culte, avec les oiseaux, bien vu la photographe
I like this one! Check out my blog today--it's also 'for the birds'!
Seagul = Odysseus.
Statue = Penelope :)
this is brilliant!
Ah ah, sympas les perchoirs ! Bon week-end, Jilly.
I want to be a gull if I can rest in this gorgeous view.
I suppose it could also be a toilet? Enlarged it looks like it has been used for that purpose.
Always at the best places .....Dominating.
How I know this view Jilly ! I would like to be there too.
Seagulls and statues go together all over the world, and like Abe said, they use the statues for toilets.
WEll this is just gorgeous Jilly. I missed the shot of the day at Trocadero today. The damn pigeons flew off before I could get my camera focused!!! Great talking to you again this morning as always. Merci mon amie!

Serene and contemplative. Thank you.
Beatiful view, the sea and the sky are only an foggy background.
Seagulls have a thing for statues even here. It's hard to take some photos without birds...
An awesome photo - wow!
