The Gliding Gull: Silence in Motion Over Lake Erie

Suspended above the soft shimmer of Lake Erie, The Gliding Gull stretches its wings wide, the air itself becoming its path. There is no rush in its movement, only a steady grace that mirrors the lake’s calm surface below. Each feather bends to the wind’s quiet instruction, carrying the bird forward without strain, without sound.
In this moment, the gull is neither watcher nor fighter, neither at rest nor in chase—it is simply present, riding the invisible currents that connect water to sky. The shoreline fades behind, blurred into muted tones, while the bird’s white form cuts sharply against the vastness.
It is a portrait of ease, of trust in the elements, a reminder that not all progress comes from force. Sometimes it is enough to surrender to the lift of unseen air, to move forward with quiet certainty and grace..
