Gull in Whitby
UPDATE MAY 2011 - #37 on Explore for 25.05.2011 - thank you very much everybody! :-)
Had a visit to Whitby few weeks ago, I forgot how nice this place is having not been there in a while but plan to have a revisit to get a photo of the harbour and pier hopefully when it s a bit quieter.
Anyway, whilst walking back off the pier noticed this chap just sitting on the wall. He was sitting there quite nicely and some nice person decided to give him their left over chips, he looked at them and just turned his nose up at it which I thought is very unusual, maybe the Gulls in Whitby must be well fed. Anyway, the Gull you see in the background flying away was sitting with him and then just flew off which he didn't seem happy about and then promptly started squawking and this photo was the result, he was almost playing up to the camera :-)
Hope everyone's week is going well.

Information
Gulls (often informally called seagulls) are birds in the family Laridae. They are most closely related to the terns (family Sternidae) and only distantly related to auks, skimmers, and more distantly to the waders. Until recently most gulls were placed in the genus Larus, but this arrangement is now known to be polyphyletic, leading to the resurrection of several genera. Gulls are typically medium to large birds, usually grey or white, often with black markings on the head or wings. They typically have harsh wailing or squawking calls, stout, longish bills, and webbed feet. Gull species range in size from the Little Gull, at 120 g (4.2 oz) and 29 cm (11.5 inches), to the Great Black-backed Gull, at 1.75 kg (3.8 lbs) and 76 cm (30 inches).
Exploring a secondlife sim and I came across a wonderful room.I'mrunning my fingers along the warm wood of this bondage rig, imagining that,one day, I may be bound tightly to it, with an experienced Mistress.
Here is my third and final entry to the tips and bricks contest, a microscale build of set 497 Galaxy Explorer. I made sure to include every detail, from the ship to the base and satellite, to even the small rover. It does fit inside the 20x20x20 requirement, and I made sure that the ship does not extend past the base, which is 20 studs long. This was also my first attempt using a new editing software called gimp.
Thanks for checking it out!
Love exploring with my sweet heart!!

American Avocet chicks are the cutest little critters. All legs and a puff of feathers. I was fortunate to spend some time with them in a park in down town Denver Colorado.
I'm happy, this is the 21th photo of my pics which was "explored".

Martonvásár, back of Brunszvik Mansion.
Built from 1773 to 1775, the baroque mansion was reconstructed in the early 1870's in neo-gothic style.The earliest record of Martonvásár appears in some charters in 1270. After the Turkish occupation, the Brunszvik family became owners of the settlement, built their mansion here and established a booming economy. The landscaped parkland around their mansion is still among the most beautiful in Hungary.
Outstanding cultural memories are attached to the Martonvásár mansion, the Beethoven Memorial Museum, and its surrounding park. In the early years of the 19th century Ludwig van Beethoven visited Martonvásár on a number of occasions due to his friendship with the music-loving Brunszvik family, who owned the estate. A number of his works, including the Appassionata Sonata, were dedicated to members of the family, who were inspired interpreters of his music. The Beethoven concerts held in the park since 1958, generally on three occasions each summer, are now a national event. The home of these concerts is an open-air theatre on an island in the lake. Talented musicians from Hungary and abroad are accompanied at these memorable concerts by the National Philharmonic Orchestra.
The sonata, which Beethoven dedicated to Theresa Brunszvik:
