5 metre fall

I just have to share this - my phone was placed on a paper envelope on a ledge while I took a photo of the view beyond with my ‘big’ camera. As I took the photo, a giant seagull flew down and grabbed the envelope from in front of my. I looked up to see my phone tumble over the edge. Down 5 metres onto a concrete path. I ran down a ramp to find my phone being picked up by a stranger who had seen it fall. It had landed face down. He turned it over and had a look of surprise on his face. Not a scratch. The phone was completely unharmed. All it had was a simple phone case and screen protector purchased at the Apple store when I bought it. Incredible.

Don’t buy a lottery ticket this week then - you’ve just used your good luck quota for this week! Cool picture.


P.S. what is up with seagulls these days? Just say a pic on the news of a woman trying to take a picture of her first Maine lobster cake before eating it and as she was holding it out for the pic, she snapped a pic of a seagull swooping down to grab a bite.
