Werner Bollmann - Stoic

 

May it snow or rain, may heavy storms rage, the kittiwakes stoically hold their ground at the birdcliff, waiting for the breeding season to begin. Soon the rest of the black and white crowd will return from the high seas and thousands of rough calls will resound from the bold cliffs – the wild chorus of the northern coasts…
