Iceberg view of a young Weddell seal

What a point it would be to stand away from earth and take alook at it, like the oceanographer and the child.

Marine Iguanas. A closeup shot. The patterns on its mouth like stiches in a row, cubes and then hexagons as you move up. The eye is like a far view of the cosmos. A picture of one going up with its forelimbs against the body and hind limbs like an outstretched frog's, like a ninja. It looks in peace.
