While wandering around the aquarium in Genoa, Italy, one of the tanks sported this odd creature.... Of course I had to take a photo!

The Strokkur Geyser in Iceland, which erupts every several minutes, to the delight of many tourists. I was quite pleased with having captured the initial bubble preceding the eruption, right at the point of breaking and the spout shooting up.



Note of warning: if you ever find yourself in position to watch a geyser, make sure you stand upwind... a trick some of the people in this picture are going to learn the hard way :)

During a hike around Clickimin Loch in Lerwick, Shetland Islands, a flock of small birds were flittering and chittering in the tall grasses. They were pretty well camouflaged.
