LINES -- THE PICTURE PERFECT THEME OF THE WEEK

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.  How many  times had we heard that in geometry class over our school years.  But the true beauty of lines is when Mother Nature lets them loose, to meander, and find their own ways.

    I took these (background shot too) at the Moss Landing Harbor a month or so ago. I was taking shots of the sea lions that had take over a mooring platform from an walkway overlook, and below me was a lone jellyfish that was right belows the surface. I used the Telephoto lens, and was pleasantly surprised the way they came out.

    Oh ok, I wasn't sure what kind of place it was and how you got the shot. I loved those sea lions. This one turned out really well too! That you got it just shooting down at the water! Looks like it was pretty big, strange looking thing!! Good job!! :)

    ditto wonderfull shot , they look so alien to me but then perhaps because this type of animal is mimicked on shows like star trek as either space stations or alien creatures.

    There is something almost hypnotic about watching jellyfish floating on the currents.

    Nature has the most beautiful lines... Besides, sometimes the shortest distance isn't the most fun!!!
    Great picture!!!! Was so surprised how well you could see it for one that wasn't taken in an aquarium!!

  47. GOOD STUFFFebruary 28, 2009 at 9:43 PM

    Great idea for the lines theme John! Curve lines in (space) water 
    My idea is SQUARE EGGS
    BTW - a good blogging idea for bloggers with lots of pictures
