Just a water theory ...
This shot was taken at sunrise at Boat Harbour in Tasmania's north-west coast.
Marlin Statue, a landmark located at a roundabout in downtown Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia.
It was constructed to commemorate the declaration of Kota Kinabalu as a city.
The statue is a popular spot for tourists and locals, particularly for watching the sunset
A little park as you enter Ocean City along Route 50 in Maryland. Walked onto this scene and captured handheld at ISO 1600. Impressed with the low noise and how well this turned out.

...And now for something completely different....
I haven't uploaded any photos from my last trip as I have such a backlog from Antarctica. But here's something different from my usual offerings. This is something I have wanted to see since childhood: a Marlin leaping clear of the water. This is a Striped Marlin, which are exceedingly swift predatory fish that feed on smaller shoaling fish like sardines. They are found throughout tropical and subtropical waters but are probably most frequent in the eastern Pacific where I took this. They are large too, averaging 2.9m from tail to sword-tip, but can exceed 4m. Most of my previous sightings have been of their tail fins at the surface but on this trip I saw three or four different individuals leaping. Typically they were distant but I had some luck with this relatively close one.

After some good years in the #4, the team started to slip in 1997 with no wins and 25th in points and Marlin and the team split after the season.

Marlin is a British sports car manufacturer founded in 1979 in Plymouth as Marlin Engineering and now located in Crediton, Devon. The company was founded by Paul Moorhouse, who, after building a series of one off cars for his own use decided to put one into production as a kit car. 2009 Marlin SP5609 is seen at Prescott during the Vintage and Pre-war Drive Thru Day on 2nd August 2020.
This is a Striped Marlin at the split second it leapt out of the water. Striped Marlins are exceedingly swift predatory fish that feed on smaller shoaling fish like sardines. They are found throughout tropical and subtropical waters but are probably most frequent in the eastern Pacific where I took this. They are large too, averaging 2.9m from tail to sword-tip, but can exceed 4m.

Marlins Park is a baseball park located in Miami, Florida. It is the current home of the Miami Marlins, the city's Major League Baseball franchise. It is located on 17 acres of the former Miami Orange Bowl site in Little Havana, about 2 miles (3 km) west of Downtown. Construction was completed in March 2012, in time for the 2012 season.
The stadium is designed in a neomodern form of baseball architecture. Marlins Park was also LEED certified as the greenest MLB park in 2012. The building is the sixth MLB stadium to have a retractable roof. With a seating capacity of 37,442, it is the third-smallest stadium in Major League Baseball by official capacity, and the smallest by actual capacity.
The stadium's public-funding plan led to a protracted lawsuit, largely contributed to the ouster of several local politicians, and triggered an SEC investigation. As revelations of the team's finances and their handling of payroll (both before and after construction) seemed to contradict some of the premises on which the tax-funded-stadium deal were based, the ballpark controversy intensified. Despite questionable financing decisions by members of local government at the time, the financing of the project did not use General Fund taxes from local taxpayers and pulled from tourist funds specifically allocated for public-benefiting projects like sports facilities.
The facility hosted a second-round pool of the 2013 World Baseball Classic, a first-round pool of the 2017 World Baseball Classic, and hosted the 2017 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The park also hosts soccer matches, fundraising galas and other events during the winter. It also hosted the Miami Beach Bowl from 2014 through 2016.

I was going to go with a backlit version until I saw the accidental shift effect on this image, which gives it motion and texture.
I have taken better photos of leaping striped Marlin www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/53599715746/in/photolist but the blue stripes show much better from this oblique angle. There are between 12 and 20 stripes on a Striped Marlin and they are full of pigmented cells called chromatophores which can expand or contract to change colour. Apparently the blue stripes can change to purple when the Marlin gets excited. Perhaps surprisingly the blue colouration of the stripes persists even after death. Striped Marlins are found in tropical and sub-tropical seas around the planet. They typically hunt small shoaling fish like sardines. This one was leaping in the Sea of Cortez off Baja in Mexico.
