Those are awesome! You know what I was thinking... That first pic-- the gray one with the bubbles?? If you took off the bottom 2 inches or so... wouldn't that make just the BEST album cover?
I love all of them! They are so beautiful and etherial! Great Job, ScubaScott!

Thanks.
It would look good as an album cover. . . better than it does on my desktop anyway. Maybe I can use it for the cover of my debut album. 'Scott's greatest hits' featuring some pretty bad acoustic guitar playing and tuneless singing.
This is another one that I took while swimming around the mangrove roots in an estuary back home. I was completely captivated by schools of tiny fish that were hiding amongst the branches, and I got some nice upsidedown reflections on the water surface.

Although the picture above really frightens me... I just realized that you're in the water amongst all those branches and fish and stuff!!
Your picture really represents many of the things that scare me about natural bodies of water...
Terrifying, and beautiful at the same time!!
Too far south for crocs in that creek, but you should be careful next time you're walking along a river bank. You never know when a half naked Australian is going to jump out of the water. . .

A half naked Aussie, I can handle!! :D
~~*~~ ...i surfaced and all of my being was enlightend... ~~*~~
hey, scubascott, great work as usual....
what type of plant(s) is this?
and where is this picture taken?
It was taken at the edge of Dumaresq Dam, in Australia. The round leaves are a water lily of some sort, the other ones I don't know.
Here's something a bit different. Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand.

Really? You're scared of the branches? Are you sure you're not afraid of what might be lurking underneath the branches? I think the unknown, unseen product of the imagination is usually much scarier than what we can actually see.
I love water, and I love being in it and under it, but sometimes dark, still, deep water, like in one of our favourite swimming holes back home can still freak me out a bit. The rational part of my brain knows that the worst thing that could possibly be down there is only an eel or two, but there's still something that makes me nervous about dangling my body down into that unknown darkness. I should dive that hole one day, and find out what's really down there. I don't even have the faintest idea how deep it is.

I must say, I'm also freaked out about all branches and that sort off stuff that might be in the water. like, if I know that in some part of some water area there are some sea weeds or whatever, I really can't go near them!
I don't know why, they just scare the hell outta me!
and you're right about that scaryness of the unseen too.
I could easily scare myself to death but I try no to. :rolleyes:

Hmm. Maybe the fear of branches has something to do with feeling like you're going to be dragged down into the water by them. Actually the spookiest water I ever swam in was at Catalina island. The bottom drops away very steeply, and the giant kelp fronds reach up from the darkness to the surface. With scuba gear its fine, bevause you can see the bottom and understand what's there, but snorkelling was decidely unnerving. From the surface you can just see the kelp reaching down into the depths, and your mind conjures up all kinds of images of what might be lurking down there. And then when you dive down the kelp has a terrifying habit of getting tangled around your fins. It was beautiful once I got used to it though.
That photo above with the branches and fish just feels like home to me. It reminds me of summer days and swimming, and the eucalyptus tree that you can just make out above the surface makes it feel very Australian.

see, that sounds exactly like something I would never go into. never.
but I'm glad you like it.

yep! you've described it perfectly... "dangling your body into unknown darkness..." i love to swim, and i'm a good swimmer... i can look at a lake or an ocean, and think "god... i would love to go swimming...", but as soon as I get into the water to a certain point... i just panic and think GET ME OUT!!

I think its much scarier to be floating on the surface, not knowing what's below you, than it is to be on the bottom, even at night. I guess its just fear of the unknown, like being afraid of the dark

lol....when I see this I can´t help but wonder if you though this was the bird I was talking about in my thread.....the rage thing ......that was the bird in #57...... this one is very different.....a soothing pic, that also has a slice of turmoil in it. Very good

Actually I though you were talking about the one you pointed out in #75. There are two birds in there. And I can see how maybe you could find some rage in there, but like you said about the last one, turmoil would be a better word.
When you mentioned the eye I realised you were talking about the closeup one. Definitely no rage in that one for me, but probably because I know the story behind it.

Yeah, I've always wondered what he was hiding from. Me probably. (Its called a polyp by the way) Here's another one. I don't know how interesting these coral ones are for everyone else. Hopefully they're something different that most people have never seen before. I think of them as landscapes. Mountains and hills and valleys and caves, but that's probably got something to do with my work.

you continue to outdo yourself scubascott! i really look forward to seeing the new stuff you post. some of your pics are some of my favourites that i've ever seen.
The weather in Tel Aviv is beautiful today, and I knew that all the rain we had on thursday would have made the mediterranean nice and murky, so I dragged my carcass out of bed at 6:30 this morning and walked through the cold winter air to the beach to have another crack at some surface and light images. There were a few guys surfing. I'm pretty sure they all thought I was insane, snorkelling in such cold, dirty, crappy looking water where there is nothing but sand to look at anyway. The photos turned out better than I expected though. Just sorting and photoshopping them now. I'll post some as soon as they're organised.

Lots of really great pics here, but this one stand out...for me...
totally brilliant!!!
you're probably right. since I get really (I mean really) freaked out if any paln or branch of whatever touches me when I'm in the water..
see, that sounds exactly like something I would never go into. never.
