A stealth bomber...or a bomber by stealth? A beauty!
& you were the second person to mention that Ike & Tina Turner song to me, for different reasons, in about 36 hours. Yes, today is our Olympic day! I love road cycling more & more and football less & less.

Hi Jan,
Not an albatros. This genus of birds doesn't exist in these tropical latitudes.
This one is a frigatebird, rather common offshore in the West Indies

Eye-catching composition with the extreme "out of centre" position of the main object, well supported by the white background.
