Hope you all are well my friends and wish to thank all the support, here in my stream in the many email.
If you want View On Black Larger for more details It really worth it
@When away i rest as much as possible and went to the beach to be in contact with nature and i get much better beeing there. It was a sunshining day and it was low tide so i could take photos of many different amazing subaquatic world. Here is one hope you like it as much as i do.
Have a nice day/night. miss you all your friendship means a lot to me.XOXOXO :))**
a funny scenario we encountered during our exploration on the Lofoten islands. This fence simply went straight through the fjord, some sort of subaquatic fencing :D Happy Fence Friday everyone! :)
The eastern water dragon is a subaquatic lizard found in healthy waterways along eastern NSW, from Nowra to halfway up the Cape York Pensinsula. It’s believed to be one of the oldest of Australian reptiles, remaining virtually unchanged for over 20 million years

Historical reference indicate that wintering by boats in the shelter of Angra were dangerous, owing to the fury of storms. Many ships were buffeted and lost their anchors by the violent swells that buffeted the "shelter" of the provincial capital, if they were not sunk outright. Approximately 74 shipwrecks or sinkings occurred in the Bay of Angra between 1522 and 1996.
A great number of these shipwrecks have not yet been encountered, and today only 13 archaeological sites within Bay of Angra have been discovered. Two of them were in an excellent state for exploration, geotourism and provided geocultural characteristics of great museological significance. Consequently, the regional government, following an exhaustive study and surveying in the site of Lidador (a steamship bound for Brazil but which sunk in 1878) and the Cemitério das Âncoras, which became known as the old anchorage for the Port of Angra, established a subaquatic parque. This Parque Arqueológico Subaquático da Baía de Angra (Archeological Subaquatic Park of the Bay of Angra) was established on 12 October 2005 to preserve and promote the histo-cultural significance of the Bay to life in Angra do Heroísmo.
La Marjal de Pego-Oliva is a protected natural area located in the Valencian Community of Spain, situated between the municipalities of Pego (Alicante) and Oliva (Valencia). Declared a Natural Park in 1994, it is one of the most important wetlands on the Spanish Mediterranean coast, known for its exceptional biodiversity and high-quality waters.
### Key Characteristics:
* **Former Lagoon:** Historically, the area was a lagoon separated from the sea by a large dune system. Over time, it silted up, transforming into the marshy landscape seen today.
* **Diverse Ecosystems:** The park comprises a mosaic of habitats, including:
* **Wetlands:** Extensive marshy areas with open water ponds and islands of vegetation.
* **Rice Fields:** The park is famous for its cultivation of native rice varieties.
* **Dune System:** A sandy ridge that separates the marsh from the sea.
* **"Ullals":** Numerous freshwater springs that emerge at the foot of the surrounding mountains, feeding the marsh and contributing to the excellent water quality.
* **Hydrology:** The park is traversed by two main rivers, the Bullent (or Vedat) to the north and the Racons (or Molinell) to the south, which, along with the "ullals," provide a constant supply of clean water.
* **Rich Biodiversity:** La Marjal is a vital refuge for a wide variety of flora and fauna, many of which are endangered or difficult to find elsewhere.
* **Flora:** The marsh is dominated by reeds and rushes, but also features a rich variety of subaquatic vegetation.
* **Fauna:** It is a critical stop for migratory birds and a nesting site for species such as the purple heron and the marbled teal. It is also home to endemic fish like the Valencia toothcarp (*Valencia hispanica*) and reptiles such as the European pond turtle (*Emys orbicularis*).
* **Economic Activity:** The traditional cultivation of rice is a significant part of the park's economy and cultural heritage, with certain native varieties being protected under the "Arroz de Valencia" Designation of Origin. Orange groves are also a common sight in the higher areas surrounding the park.
La Marjal de Pego-Oliva is a beautiful and important natural area, offering visitors opportunities for birdwatching, hiking, and cycling to explore its unique landscape and rich biodiversity.

trevor navigating the increasing surf and rugged reef. luckily this spot broke rather deep over the reef.
The sea annexed Venice, while a hundred other cities learned what it was like to have canals. Survival in these flooded cities was made possible by the sirens, our subaquatic servitors tasked with scavenging useful materials from the waterlogged streets, rescuing the lost and drowning, and maintaining the submerged foundations of still-inhabited skyscrapers.
My entry in the Biocup 2020 prelims, for the theme of The Future. I can't deny it looks pretty bleak sometimes (I mean, have you seen my 2019 prelims entry?), but this time I wanted to portray something less apocalyptic than ambiguous, where catastrophic challenges inspire human adaptability and innovation. Speaking of which, good luck in the Biocup!

you might fathom my amazement when I was walking along the Thames and this passed floating by ... what are people thinking?!
Espaliu (Espalion en francès) és una important població de la vall del riu Lot, cosa que ve d'antic, com mostra el seu magnific pont gotic. Per ell hi creua el Camí de Sant Jaume occità.
El que és més curiós, d'una vila tant de terra endins, es que aquí s'inventà la escafandra autonoma. I fins hi tot hi ha un museu al respecte!
Aquí, en el museu, un petit raconet per a les primeres "escafandres" per a càmeres fotogràfiques.
======================
Espalion is a nice town,built arround it's gothic, arched bridge. Through this bridge the occitan Way of St. James crosses the Lot river.
What it's odd to discover is that here, in the middle of France, the autonomous diving suit was created. There's even a museum about it!
Here you could see the first systems to take a camera underwater.
As a Christmas present, our son and his wife took us to a very nice Chinese restaurant overlooking the Chinese Garden of Friendship at Darling Harbour, Sydney. After a delicious lunch, we strolled through this beautiful and very peaceful garden, where I saw a great number of Eastern Water Dragons like this one, which came near our table during our meal. Unfortunately, I only had my mobile phone as a camera and the quality of the images I took isn't very good :(
The Eastern Water Dragon is a subaquatic lizard found in healthy waterways along eastern NSW, from Nowra to halfway up the Cape York Pensinsula. It’s believed to be one of the oldest of Australian reptiles, remaining virtually unchanged for over 20 million years.
The Eastern Water Dragon is a medium to large-sized lizard which is olive to brown in colour with a dark stripe behind its eye and a reddish tinge at its throat. It has a row of spines which runs from its head down its back.
These subaquatic lizards can usually be found sunning themselves on rocks or branches along creeks and rivers, but are powerful swimmers too.
These Australian lizards eat insects, frogs, yabbies, fruit and berries.

Un regalo para Bel, la protagonista de ésta foto.
Tiene 8 años, anteayer estuvimos en el Aquarium junto a su madre y otros amigos míos.
Ella disfrutó mucho, pero los adultos que fuimos lo pasamos igualmente bien.
Me ha dicho que ve mis fotos en flickr, así que éste recuerdo es para ella. ;-)

A gift for my 8 years old friend Bel.
It was a dark and stormy night
At the bottom of the sea.
The diver marked a sight
Of forming urgency.
The Red Baron before his eyes
In a subaquatic sweep
Having left the cloudy skies
To plumb the murky deep.
grr...
A Nautilus in red!
The Baron kept his style.
Emitting waves of dread
In form and force most vile.
grrRRrr...
What hope could now appear
to face a fiend so base?
That fearless bombadier!
The famous Flying Ace!
grrRRrrRRRrr...
'WA! WAWA wawa WA!"
The story must briefly stop.
The stomach growls so droll.

NOS from the 90's.
Another of our favorite vendors from our days of our collectibles store is Westland Giftware. They had the loveliest line of Peanuts offerings.
I don't know if Westland is still in business but these figurines are a great legacy for them.
When all of the Peanuts figurines are lined up in a nice display it's truly amazing from their large ornate sculpts to their smaller figurines like today's snow globe of Snoopy the World's Famous Author!
One last shot of this aquatic landscape. It's got the Hydro sub being tailed by Stingrays, they seem to go unnoticed, but...

<1980s TV cartoon title sequence voice>
"Mechtopus... Spidercrab... Hammerhead... Mechinoderm.
Four unique powersuits modeled after undersea creatures and harnessing the power of the ocean. Piloted by a team of specialists, they are Humanity's first line of defense against the dark forces of the world beneath the waves. Individually, they are powerful. Together, they are almost unstoppable. Only a lucky few have what it takes to pilot the giant robotic armour of what the world calls... Neptune's Children!"
~~~
Not built as any sort of media tie-in, this year's Mechtober team does look a lot like they _ought_ to be connected to some obscure 1980s cartoon series. Between the Power Rangers-esque colour coding and the one good-guy vehicle that seems a bit uncool and no-one wants to play the pilot of (looking at you, Mechinoderm), I could totally see a 1980s-style cartoon centred around these.
Prompts: I tried to scream but my head was underwater, flowers bubbles and fish.

Thank you for your visit, faves, and kind comments. 😊
Smallest of the team and the only non-humanoid, the sea urchin-inspired Mechinoderm is in some ways the most versatile of the family.
Relatively slow-moving but bristling with defensive weaponry, the Mechinoderm's tubular feet are able to adhere to any surface allowing the mech to climb up and down sheer surfaces.
~~~
Completing the set, the final mech obviously needed a trans red windshield and a predominantly green colour scheme in order to complete the circle. 1: Red with trans (neon) yellow, 2: Yellow with trans (light) blue, 3: (Dark) blue with trans (bright) green, and 4: Green with trans red. I was initially thinking of building a sea turtle-inspired mech, but then the words "mech" and "echinoderm" stuck together in my mind and I knew I had to build it.
The opposite, Albanian shore of the Lake Ohrid is barely visible, thanks to the lucent haze that hovers over the lake. Might be a reason for the ancient Greeks to give the newly founded city - which is Ohrid - the name Lychnidos, probably meaning ´city of light´.
Trpejca (Macedonian: Трпејца) is a village along the shore of the Lake Ohrid in the Republic of Macedonia. Traditionally a fishing village, it has recently become an upscale vacation spot. Trpejca is home to around 303 inhabitants and has just one school, two shops, and a church recently built on the exact location of an older one. It is known as the Macedonian Saint-Tropez among locals.
Lake Ohrid (Macedonian: Охридско Езеро), (Albanian: Liqeni i Ohrit), straddles the mountainous border between southwestern Macedonia and eastern Albania. It is one of Europe's deepest and oldest lakes, preserving a unique aquatic ecosystem that is of worldwide importance, with more than 200 endemic species. The importance of the lake was further emphasized when it was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1979 and when, in 2010, NASA decided to name one of Titan's lakes after Lake Ohrid. The towns situated at the lakeside are Pogradec in Albania, along with Ohrid and Struga in Macedonia.
Lake Ohrid is the deepest lake of the Balkans, with a maximum depth of 288 m (940 ft) and a mean depth of 155 m (508 ft). It covers an area of 358 km² (138 sq mi), containing an estimated 55.4 km³ of water. It is 30.4 km long by 14.8 km wide at its maximum extent with a shoreline length of 87.53 km, shared between Macedonia (56.02 km) and Albania (31.51 km). The Ohrid Lake is divided between Republic of Macedonia and Albania. Of the total surface area, 248 km2 belongs to Republic of Macedonia and 110 km2 belongs to Albania.
The Ohrid and Prespa Lakes belong to a group of Dessaret basins that originated from a geotectonic depression during the Pliocene epoch up to five million years ago on the western side of the Dinaric Alps. Worldwide, there are only a few lakes with similarly remote origins with Lake Baikal and Lake Tanganyika being the most famous. Most other, short-lived lakes have a life span of less than 100,000 years before they are eventually filled up with sediments. It is believed that in the case of Lake Ohrid this process was delayed by its great depth and small sediment input from its filtered spring inflows. Moreover the Ohrid-Korca graben to the south of the lake is still tectonically active and might compensate sedimentation by subduction. In contrast to Lake Ohrid, Lake Prespa is likely to have turned dry several times in its history, as a result of its karstic underground. In 2008, Macedonian media reported that international experts will be researching the lake in order to determine its age.
The lake drains an area of around 2600 km² and is fed primarily by underground springs on the eastern shore (about 50% of total inflow), with roughly 25% shares from rivers and direct precipitation. Over 20% of the lake's water comes from nearby Lake Prespa, about 10 km (6.2 mi) to the southeast and at 150 m higher altitude than Lake Ohrid. The water leaves Lake Prespa trickling through underground watercourses in the karstic landscape, where it is joined by mountain range precipitation and eventually emerges in numerous springs along the eastern shore and below the water surface of Lake Ohrid. The water leaves Lake Ohrid by evaporation (~40%) and through its only outlet, the Black Drin River, which flows in a northerly direction into Albania and thus to the Adriatic Sea. The relatively dry, Mediterranean climate and the small drainage basin of 2600 km² (catchment/lake surface ratio of ~7) of Lake Ohrid results in a long hydraulic residence time scale of ~70 yr.
The water at the surface of Lake Ohrid moves predominantly in a counter-clockwise direction along the shore, as a result of wind forcing and earth rotation, similar to the Ekman-phenomenon known from oceans. In terms of vertical water exchange, convective mixing during winter cooling is the dominant process. However in an average winter only the top 150–200 meters of the lake are mixed, whereas the water below is stably stratified by salinity. The stability due to this salinity gradient allows complete convective mixing events only roughly once every 7 years. Both in terms of nutrient concentration (4.5 μg L−1 of phosphorus), as well as biological parameters Lake Ohrid qualifies as oligotrophic. Thanks to this oligotrophy and the filtered spring inflows, the water is exceptionally clear with transparencies to a depth of as much as 22 meters (66 feet). Despite the lack in annual deep water exchange from complete overturn or plunging rivers, dissolved oxygen never drops below ~6 mg L−1.
While Lake Ohrid is special as such, by far the most spectacular quality is its impressive endemism. Similar to Lake Baikal or Lake Tanganyika, Lake Ohrid harbors endemic species covering the whole food-chain, from phytoplankton and sestile algae (20 species; e.g., Cyclotella fottii), over plant species (2 species; e.g., Chara ohridana), zooplankton (5 species; e.g., Cyclops ochridanus), cyprinid fish (8 species; e.g., Pachychilon pictus), to predatory fish (two trout species; the Ohrid trout complex Salmo letnica, and "Belvica" Acantholingua ohridana) and finally its diverse endemic bottom fauna (176 species; e.g. Ochridagammarus solidus), with particularly large endemism among crustaceans, molluscs, sponges and planarians. Whereas the endemic species list cited above is based on morphological and ecological characteristics, some recent applications of molecular genetic techniques underline the difference of the fauna from common European taxa, as well as the old age of the lake. Quite remarkably, exotic species do not seem to be a major issue in Lake Ohrid, although they have been recorded in small populations for several decades or exist in nearby rivers or lakes. The reason lies very probably in the ideal adaptation of the endemic species to the specific conditions in the lake, such as low nutrient availability, good living conditions in greater depth thanks to high water transparency and oxygen content, as well as subaquatic spring inflows supplying cool and oxygen-rich water. In total, seven introduced fish species are known from the lake. Despite the exceptionally high level of endemism in Lake Ohrid (for example, a third of the 21 native fish species and as much as 80% of its molluscan fauna is endemic), a significant number of non-endemic species is found in Lake Ohrid. This includes species, which are mobile (e.g., via water birds) or migratory, such as the European eel. The lakeshore reed beds and wetlands provide critical habitat for hundreds of thousands of wintering water birds, including rare and threatened species such as the Dalmatian Pelican, Ferruginous Duck, Swan, Spotted Eagle, and Eastern Imperial Eagle.
