Sky Rats

Locals call them the rats of the ocean. But in photos, the familiar creatures looked completely altered. They seemed to float motionless across the sky, silent like spaceships. These fleeting movements were imperceptible to me until I snapped them at 1/200 of a second. Captured in the midst of their aerial pursuits, they looked ridiculous at times, and mysterious at others. Mysterious, if only because they are seagulls and we are not, and we can never fully enter into their world.
