Day 44: Proximity


It's been a while since I've been down Sanibel way, so it was cool to take an excursion down there today. I was worried that the effects from the oil spill had made their way to Sanibel, but those worries were dissolved when I got there and the water was as beautiful and pristine as ever. While fishing under the bridge I managed to catch sight of two dolphins, one of which came as close as 30 to 50 feet away from me. I wish I could have snapped a picture of him but he eluded my camera. I did manage to get a few shots of this pack of manta rays though. There were five or six of them swimming in sync with each other, no doubt hunting for the same fish that I was. Although they were probably a bit more successful than I was.

I need to make sure I get a picture of a dolphin on here before the year is up.

Portions of a whole
Where singularities define.
Step away or step together,
Either way, we're fine.
This is common purpose.

Song: "A Guide to Marine Life" by Falling Up. The powerpop vocals are an aquired taste when set against this music: at times it's anthemic, at others it's atmospheric, ambient and airy. Synths and keyboards give the song an underwater vibe throughout. The sonic textures here are really impressive, and the melody is instantly catchy.
