SE Alaska, 8 Humpback whales bubble net feeding. After they dive you never know exactly where to point the camera despite them producing a bubble net, often they were much further away than expected on surfacing.
Nets, lost by Fishermen and drifting abandonned in the Oceans, entangling Wrecks and other submerged objects, are not only a Danger for Divers, but much more so for all marine Life. A great Initiative tries to clean the oceans from such nets, recycling it into something useful. Find more Info under www.ghostfishing.net

A group of ladies is seen as they are busy in repairing the nets in a workshop at Bac Lieu, Vietnam. After struggling in deep sea or wide Mekong river, the fishing groups need their damaged nets, repaired before next trip.

This old net loft or processing plant overlooks the small boat harbour of Rough Bay on Malcolm Island. It appears to still be in use to some extent, where others nearby are definitely beyond use as they are or have collapsed over time. This is a working harbour with a long history of fishing and boat building.
One of the most intriguing textiles we saw being made here are the rugs that are fabricated from old used salmon gill nets - possibly out of this net loft. We were told that currently there are only two industrious ladies on island who make these rugs. They are very beautiful and the one lady who had some in her shop wasn’t sure she was ready to sell them yet as the nets she made them from were over 100 years old. They take hours and hours of time and patience to make she said.

Bubble-net feeding is a complicated, highly synchronized effort that shows high biological intelligence. One whale usually leads the endeavor, diving deep then rising up to the surface. From deep below, it'll begin to blow air to create bubbles. It confuses and traps the fish above. Then, the rest of the team follows, creating a cumulative fence around the prey, like a corral. The whales then gather inside the bubble-net and rise to the surface, mouths wide open.
a restored heritage building at The Britannia Shipyard in Steveston, Richmond BC. The Britannia Shipyard is the oldest surviving structure on the Steveston waterfront and the oldest shipyard building in British Columbia. This large net loft was built c1954 for the Anglo British Columbia Packing Company, who owned the Britannia site from 1892 until 1969. Originally constructed as a seine net loft, it has more recently been used as a storage facility.
Net lofts were constructed at cannery sites all along the Steveston waterfront to store and repair fishing nets. Their location on pilings over the water made it easy for fishermen to load and unload their nets from the fishing boats.
Their large size and cavernous interiors were designed to enable the large nets to be suspended for drying. (from descriptions on site)
Heart’s eye
Probes past
Bone and blood,
Brother and border,
Sees the You in Me.
The stardust spectrum
Of each of our lights
Reflects the spectacles
Donned to glimpse
This new dawn’s creation.
The sun, with all those plants revolving around it and dependent upon it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.

The Big Telecoms are all spying on each of us on the unconstitutional behalf of our government, which Obama will never do anything about, & they are giving huge sums of payola to our congressional representatives & senators, many of whom lie criminally in bed with them, where, yes, whores & Johns that they are, They feel each other up.
You might want to address an email to the Great American Brothel - that is, Washington, DC - or you might prefer to feel helpless & hopeless, & await the certain & unpleasant fate that these entwined vipers will soon enough bring to you in forms much worse than the ones already slapping your face.

WHAT I wrote to my congressman, Rep. Rick Larsen (D) WA, because he sneakily sent a letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) opposing net neutrality:
FCC: Stand Firm for Net Neutrality
Dear Rep. Rick Larsen:
Net neutrality is to the internet what freedom to express, print & distribute information & opinion is to the press. Opposition to net neutrality in order to obtain campaign funds or other perks from corporations & their lobbyists is not really any legislator's assertion of opinion, as some legislators pretend, but is a crime against the republic.
Make net neutrality permanent. Support net neutrality or lose my support & the support of everyone I know. A nation in which corporations dictate the formation of public policy & legislation of that policy into law by corrupting its politicians is ... well, how would you finish this sentence, Mr. Larsen?
Sincerely ...
