A walk through Castro-Urdiales with a seagull in breach of the rules

Good morning,

Last Wednesday for work reasons I was in the fishing village of Castro Urdiales (Cantabria-Spain) which is located about half an hour from the city of Bilbao.

Since I arrived there in the afternoon and I had no urgent work to do, I decided to take a walk through this beautiful town equipped with my Sony Alpha 6000L camera.

When I was walking along the promenade, a large church on a cliff and a castle that was converted into a lighthouse caught my attention in the distance.

After approaching this place, I was taking several photographs of the exterior of this peculiar church of Santa Maria de la Asuncion and also of the Castle-Lighthouse of Santa Ana.

The access to the Castle-Lighthouse of Santa Ana is totally free and because I saw the open access door I decided to enter and take some pictures from there in which you could see the beautiful town of Castro-Urdiales and I took the opportunity to take some pictures of the lighthouse.

When I turned around from taking pictures of the lighthouse, on one of the walls of the castle I was especially amused by this seagull that was climbing the wall just above the sign that indicates in Spanish " Forbidden to climb the walls. Cliff".

After seeing @friendlymoose's post about the #pobphotocontest and the rule of thirds, I decided to edit this photo by cropping it in order to place the seagull in the lower right third of the image and this is the image I'm submitting to the contest.
