Ahoy, and a Flock of Non-Seagulls

Down by the bay . . . these are the sails and rigging (proper maritime speak?) of the Star of India.

I'm not sure what these guys were doing, but it looks pretty pirate-y, no? Observe the top of the ginormous cruise ship in the background ...

And a flock of pigeons, many of whom can't be seen here because I was avoiding photographing the license plate of this car. There were many, many birds congregating here. And only here--not on the car behind, not on the car in front. I've never seen pigeons roosting on top of a car, actually. I love how they chose a WHITE car to um, decorate (YOU know what I'm talkin' 'bout).
