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. 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.

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.
Encountered by chance in a hotel car park in Yorkshire. It was one of several kit cars (of different types) that were gathered together, presumably for some sort of tour. I think this is a Berlinetta model, a later, larger version of the original two-seat roadster that was designed and sold by Paul Moorhouse. The Roadster was one of the (many) kit cars that I dreamed of one day building in the late 1970s and 1980s, but (so far) haven't.
I am guessing a fairly common fish in local waters? I was amused by the fact that a lot of money has been spent on roundabouts in Sihanoukville but the authorities haven't surfaced most of the roads yet...

Heavy lift carrier White Marlin passing Lossie this evening for Invergordon, with more wind farm parts from China. Seemingly more economical to build these in the Far East and ship them half way round the planet! Might be financially cheaper but can't be much good for the environment.
Arrival of the Black Marlin at Rotterdam. This semi-submersible vessel has 18 inland vessel hulls on board and a crane vessel for Damen. The 18 hulls were constructed in China for delivery to Concordia Damen in Werkendam.

The Rambler Marlin (later AMC Marlin) is a two-door fastback automobile produced in the United States by American Motors Corporation from 1965 to 1967. A halo model for the company, it was marketed as a personal luxury car.
In '65, the car was marketed as "Rambler Marlin". For '66, the car featured "Marlin" identification only, named "AMC Marlin", as was the '67 model.
Its fastback roof design was previewed on the 1964 Rambler Tarpon show car, based on the compact Rambler American. 1965 and 1966 model year production Marlins were fastback versions of the mid-sized two-door hardtop Rambler Classic, and 1967 brought a major redesign in which the car was given the new, longer AMC Ambassador full-size chassis. This version had a longer hood and numerous 'improvements' including more interior room and new V8 engines.

The UKD Marlin chugging slowly up the Firth of Forth, viewed from Bo'ness. According to their site, the vessel is a "modern trailing suction hopper dredger", designed to work in estuaries, open sea and also enclosed spaces like dockyards

A visit to the Panama Canal should be a must if you were in Panama. We did, one day taking the train across the isthmus and on another day upon a tour vessel starting near Panama City to the lock at Gamboa and then return. Anyone interested in more details of the canal I highly recommend reading David McCullough's book, The Path Between the Seas: The Creation of the Panama Canal. This photograph was taken while on that canal cruise. Exiting the locks at Miraflores it arrives at sea level of the Pacific Ocean.

Testing back a Summicron. Is that really better than the Planar? That's a good question.

The heavy-lift ship Black Marlin left June 17 from Shanghai with no fewer than 18 hulls from Concordia Damen inland vessels and a Damen crane barge.
The ships are built in China to build a ship that is as cost-efficient as possible for the customer. It is much more efficient and cheaper to ship all hulls to Europe in one go than in multiple times.
Het heavy-lift ship Black Marlin is 17 juni vanuit Shanghai vertrokken met maar liefst 18 casco’s van Concordia Damen binnenvaartschepen en een Damen crane barge (kraanschip).
De schepen zijn in China gebouwd om een zo ​​kostenefficiënt mogelijk schip te bouwen voor de klant. Het is veel efficiënter en goedkoper om in 1 keer alle casco’s te verschepen naar Europa dan in meerdere keren.
Thank you for taking the time to view my photo,
maybe for your faves and comments, I appreciate that very much!
this is absolutely my all time favorite shell. it is a lightning whelk .. these were found in Florida... while on sanibel island.
they are the only shell that opens to the left.
this is archived. i was looking through my photos this morning and this one stopped me in my tracks. needless to say after last year's shell project I have a plethora of shell photos!
i hope you have a great saturday.
there is a big fishing tournament on the island. i am going to check that out.. maybe i will get a picture of a big blue marlin!
