Another image from the snowstorm around xmas time. These seagulls are looking for a free meal from a group of East European immigrants picknicking together under a porch. They usually meet together at the nearby park, but here they are more comfortable under the porch,sheltered from the bitter wind, so their clients had followed them. There were also pigeons, but the seagulls didn't like getting mix up with the lower classes... This is a small open patio called 'piazzetta' (small square), just a few metres from my condo. It's surrounded by high rise block of flats, mostly occupied by offices. Usually it is used by drug addicts and North African pushers during the day and homeless during the night, but the combined forces of the snow and the East Europeans had sent them away. BTW, actually I put together a number of shots of the same place and different seagulls. In the original shot there was only the seagull in the centre diving like a Japanese Zero ;-D. Thank you for your kind comments.
