[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Petros the pelican was a White Pelican, who was the official mascot of the Greek island of Mykonos.
In 1958 a fisherman of Mykonos found a wounded pelican. He nursed it and after it had recovered the pelican stayed. It was fed by the local people of the island. And they named him Petros. After a while it became the mascot of the island. In 1986 he died.
Nowadays three new pelicans live around the main town of Mykonos. One of them is also named Petros.

Vera, muito bacana, a nota escrita por você sobre a história de Petros.

Gosto da foto - nunca vi um pelicano perto de mim.

Bela "pose" e bela composição.

Hi Vera,
I love the pose of this pelican, standing in shallow water,
with his head sideways, and his beak open.
Very nice composition with pleasing colors and a very interesting subject.
TFS. : )
