A bird's eye view: outside the entrance to Merlin's Cave, Tintagel Castle, England

Species: Bird | Location: Tintagel Castle, England, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

A bird's eye view of the rocky seacoast outside Merlin's Cave at the base of Tintagel Castle, southwestern England.

If you enlarge this photo, you can see this bird eyeing me during his fly by....

This photo shows the interdependence of all four spheres of current life on earth: geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere.

I had carefully framed my shot, and only later realized that this beautiful bird had flown through it.... What a gift!

About The Photographer

I learned my appreciation of the natural world from fishing with my father. The ability to be still, quiet your soul, and to feel your surroundings. I am especially drawn to natural locations of and where the four spheres of the earth meet: earth, water, air, and life.
