Darling Harbour, Cockle Bay

A seagull takes in the views at Cockle Bay at Darling Harbour including Pyrmont Bridge. This swing bridge carries the elevated monorail track which mains stationary, even when the bridge swings open for large boats to pass, so that the monorails can continue to cross without interruption.

    Touch of spam as well I see. Great shot though gulls get everywhere.

    I do enjoy seagulls, I think it is their cheekiness. I'm visiting via Outdoor Wednesday. Thanks for sharing-

    Nice photograph. I like how the pretty bird is in the foreground and yet the background has so many interesting things to look at as well.
