About the picture

The herring gulls in our area are creatures of habit. Most of them sleep by the islands or along the coastline, and return to "their own" same chimney or rooftop each day at sunrise. These spots are their home base during the day, from where they keep an eye on possible feeding opportunities in the nearby parks. 

A lovely couple of herring gulls, who we named Gulliver and Josefine, live on our rooftop. We have gotten a liking to watching them, and watching us has become a hobby of theirs as well. 

Josefine has a color ring, through which we know she's at least 13 years old currently, potentially older.  She has been observed breeding several years, and has been a frequent visitor in our area all of her life. She's a very talkative gull, and adored by her partner Gulliver (visible in the foreground of this picture). They find food for eachother, and stand guard for eachother while eating. He follows her wherever she goes, and she often initiates preening him. 💗

Printing and shipping

I use The Print Space to help me with printing and shipping my photography, so I can focus on taking and editing the pictures. They print on high-quality fine art and photo paper, and ship the prints internationally. The prints are packaged and shipped securely, and come with a certificate of authenticity.

About the paper

Fuji Crystal archive paper with a semi-matt finish. The paper is coated with a slightly stippled texture giving a very natural photographic finish with subtle colour. Great versatile paper, very natural and works well with all photographic images. Maintains colours in a very natural way, giving a detailed, 3-dimensional beautiful photographic reproduction. Our most popular choice.
