A seagull takes off from the harbor edge in Skånevik, Norway, above dark coastal water and old dock tires. I often take photos without fully knowing what I want to capture at that moment. That makes it even more rewarding later, when I look through the images and find a photo like this — a quiet moment that caught the bird just as it was lifting into the air.

The movement of the seagull gives the image a more atmospheric feeling. It creates a natural, almost cinematic impression, reflecting the mood of harbor life, the sea, and Norway itself.
