I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

What a gorgeous photograph!
Scary close. Great capture!
Hi, there, Sir Pelican. You seem like you have a story to tell us?
I always adore the way the pelicans crash into the water, like "I meant to do that..."
very evocative in sepia.
This pelican is an avian that looks great - and knows it, too! The beak is lovely, the pouch ready to scoop up a fish for dinner. Long ago in Florida, I watched in amazement how the pelicans dove into the water at such speed - yet was able to capture a fish and climb up at breakneck speeds. A most beautiful bird!
