A Shock Of Color, A Flock Of Seagulls - IMRAN™
Today was the start of one of the chilliest parts of the year. The clouds to the west of me at my Long Island home were thick and dark from the horizon up to about 25° above, while the temperature was going to be soon approaching 25°F. I saw that the clouds to the east looked more interesting. I had been wanting to do a photo shoot at Bellport dock for a while, since I had not been there in months. So, I drove on there and got there before sunset, which, sadly, happens before 4:30PM these days. But, despite the weather being so cold that my hands and face were freezing, I was able to do a fun livestream of the dusk colors. I also did some 360° photos and videos. But, having made sure to bring my now 9 years old Nikon D300, I was able to capture this scene which I worked on at home to present this magical moment, with a shock of cloud covers, and a huge flock of seagulls, swarming the sky and the dock, respectively. When a police boat arrived and docked, I said hi to the police officer but we could both barely talk because our faces and tongues were that cold we could barely talk and sounded like babies talking. He had been out to Morcihes Inlet and saw a total of two boats all day. I told him how I used to keep my boats in the water until mid-December before I had taken them to Florida many years ago. Good old days then, and stunning cold new days, and hot young nights ahead.............
