Sheds and Stuff and Seagulls Too – Cockatoo Island

This was taken from what must now be considered a large forecourt. It was once – no too long ago actually – full of more large corrugated iron worksheds and much associated maritime industry. Not any longer though. It’s now completely cleared except for seagulls – who were nesting and consequently very aggressive when this image was taken – and very large puddles, one of which provided the reflection that caught my attention here.
