Shooting

I have been in a bad mood these days for some mishaps. Life turns out to be sour whenever I expect positive turnaround. And yes, that’s called YE LWIN OO. Of course, I tried couples of ways to free my soul. The thing is that I want some time on my own. I desirably want to run away from these RESPONSIBILITIES. No more compromises, please!! And let me have sound sleep!!

It’s a misty Dec morning. 4th DEC (Thurs), I set my alarm 5:00 in the morning. I took my camera and went to MAW TIN wharf. Hired a small DAH LA ferry and traveled along YANGON RIVER to shoot seagulls. Philosophically, I want to be like these seagulls. I would love to glide in the wind. Free from everything and flying without any limitation. So, let me FREE MY SOUL with this post.

Gift Of The Seagull by Munda

A lonely seagull flies the winds
Majestic… soaring…gliding wings
A single screech sounds from the sky
Come fly with me… come here and fly

My spirit floats to be a part
I feel the beating of its heart
My soul, one with this bird of sea
Now knows the meaning to fly free

I feel the winds caress my soul
And soar the streams without a goal
My being trembles of delight
A treasure I received tonight

The seagull’s flight of soaring high
The gift of what it means to fly

Very nice photos. First and Third photos’ farthest objects especially ships and jetty’s tones are very fantastic. The movements of seagulls are very amazing. Very fantastic photos.

@ MYO HAN HTUN >> Ko Toe. Thanks for your praise and I will try harder. To be honest, the shots did not hit my expectation. I was eager to have a shot where to seagulls are flying head-to-head. I will definitely go there and try again.

Wow, these pics are awfully nice. As well as the poem under these pics. I’m pleased that I’m able to view these shots early in the morning. These seagulls help me get through the day. Umm, the ships in the third pics seem really great, huh? i guess, because of ur professionalism. The outside of the pics, they might not great as much as in ur pics, right? Anyway, kool kool…..

Awesome shots. I like all of them. Very professional and fine arts. It reminds me of the “Johnathan Seagull” from Ethics course back then. I am not that familiar w/ harbors from Yangon. But I’ve never seen seagull along the shore or beaches here in Hawaii. Maybe it’s too crowded most of the time w/ ppl anyway. Great job brother. I haven’t had time to visit your site for couple weeks and when I did this post strike me. Makes me wanted to drop some comments about it. Well done and looking forward to see your fantastic shots. Cheers!
