Description
Pellican in Walvis Bay, Namibia.We went on the Mola Mola cruise in Walvis Bay and our skipper Nick literally called the pellicans and they would fly/glide beside our boat (called Gambit btw)!
I never imagined them to be such huge birds and it was amazing to watch them fly to gracefully.
I realize that I should have used a faster shutter speed as the wings are a bit blurred, but afterall this photo was taken with my compact camera - I was too afraid to get my dslr wet! It's a pity I didn't bring it along because there really wasn't all that much splashing as I thought there would be, and my dslr wouldn't have run any major risks...
It was a great trip and I advise anyone who is going to go to Namibia to visit Swakopmund and do this boat cruise!
Comments and thoughts are mich appreciated

In the dream, I transformed into a water bird so that I could fly across a bay and to a different country to search for someone. It was really cool
You are welcome, great photo
