I went for a walk today. It was pretty early in the morning, I was enjoying the cold but sunny atmosphere near the port of my hometown ...
... when I noticed five elegant birds in the shallow water ...

... near the hotel called Arcus. The hotel is closed for years now. Almost a decade, I think. Something went wrong. I remember hearing something about debt, bankruptcy, criminal activities. I don't know, it was some years ago and I wasn't interested back then, even less now. The fact is that the relatively big hotel is closed and quiet ...
... and the Egrets often search for food in the inlet just beneath the building.
These are the Little egrets (Egretta garzetta). They are very common in the shallow, muddy inlets of my hometown and surroundings.
I saw five birds at first, but two of them flew away soon.

Only three were there when I decided to go home ...
... and a seagull was floating ...
... a bit further, in equally shallow water.
An hour or so earlier, I was photographing some tattered nylon foil brought by the wind. That nylon looked kinda elegant and somehow resembled the Egrets, in an abstract way. But that's another story. And that story was told here on HIVE, earlier today. So that's it. As always in these posts on HIVE, the photographs are my work - THE END.

The hotel so looking so nice, when it was still functioning I know their customers loved it.
Yes, it was a nice hotel. The best in town when it was freshly built.
That is nice. Happy valentines 🙂
🙂 Thanks. Happy Valentines to you too.

Spectacular photos of the Egretta garzetta, and the landscape
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to enjoy these beautiful places you visit.
Cheers my friend
Petty to see that Arcus hotel is still closed. I remember reading about the plans of new owners for rebuilding it this year. Obviously that was still not the case.
A beautiful midwinter story ... loved it and appreciated the video touch at the end!
To be sincere this hostel is beautiful but no one can believe is up-to a decade because of how it look
The scenery is very extraordinary. I also really like the beauty of the bangou bird.
The last photo is also amazing good job @borjan
