Under a sky threatening rain, a man sits in the cab of his tractor - trailer waiting for two offshore fishermen to fill his fish boxes with the catch of the day.

This is such a cool image. So many people never get the opportunity to witness this in real life.

A very short time later the seagulls were fighting over pieces of fish that fell on the ground. Thank you Chris!

Great photo! So much to look at and composition keeps the eye moving. Love how you got the seagulls to cooperate by being in the right place at the right time. Did you slip them some extra bread crusts for that favor ? ;-p f/v

A peek behind the scenes. Our fish don't really come from the grocery store. Nicely captured Bob.
