Stillness. That’s the word that lingers when I look at this frame — a black-headed gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) paused in thought, standing motionless in the shallow water near Sibbarp in Malmö. The Baltic Sea was unusually calm that evening, mirroring every delicate detail of the bird and the fading sun like a scene from a dream.
It’s easy to overlook gulls — we see them everywhere and often mistake them for noisy background characters. But in the right light, with the right timing, even the most common creatures become icons of serenity. That soft reflection, the slight tilt of the beak, the perfectly balanced composure — all of it whispered something gentle, something fleeting.
Captured with my Sony A7R V, this image is a quiet reminder that beauty often lies in the everyday. You just need to slow down and notice. Sibbarp isn’t only about sea baths and BBQs; it’s a place where moments like this unfold — small, still, and sacred.
