Seagull on a Windowsill Over City Rooftops — Postcard

A seagull perches calmly on an old wooden windowsill, framed by an open window with a view over a jumble of city rooftops, chimneys and distant tower blocks. The bird looks straight into the room, as if it dropped by to visit.

A bit of sea air through the mail slot, for anyone stuck far from a coastline.
