Beautiful!! Personal faves: the white ferny things at :59 and something at 2:52!!
thank You very much, DP!!
My pleasure Hlen. Underwater film like that always has such a soothing, hypnotic effect on me. I think those critters, and their environment is so stunning, I find it hard to wrap my head around it. It's just so beautiful, and perfectly balanced.
Boy oh boy, do I ever miss Jacque Cousteau.
I agree! The last time I was in Florida, I went snorkeling. I spent at least 20 minutes watching a cowfish (I think!!) eating something that looked like an intestine! I saw first hand what it looked like to be within a huge school of little minnow-like fish. They moved like a single organism!
The most exciting thing of all, was seeing something out of the corner of my eye and realizing it was a manta-ray! I thought about following it and started to, but then I thought I wouldn't be able to find the cowfish again! Also, although I knew Manta-rays aren't dangerous (generally), this landlocked chick was a lttle aprehensive of going further out!
It was soooo cool, I felt like I was watching J Cousteau. I've always loved Nat'l Geo specials! Duh duhduh daaaaah da, duh duhduh daaaaah da, duh duhduh daaaah da, da da da!!
