ColorChallenge: Wednesday Yellow
Diving deep to discover and photograph new things has it challenges. Limited by the air on your back and the time it can take to descend and ascend are just a few consideration if your planning to deep dive.
However once all the calculations are complete, your gear is checked and the condition are right you go and what you experience is amazing.
The Cloud Sponge gardens of the Pacific Northwest have been going for thousands of years and so very few people have ever seen them. Some can grow as large as cars and are the home to many other types of marine life. Unfortunately these delicate ancient colonies can be easily damaged from discarded crab traps and lines but also changes in the environment around them. Many of these garden are now protected from fishing which has help in there continued existence.
Thanks for reading.

A spectacular organism.
Siéntete dichoso y bendecido por ver tan maravilloso paisaje marino, @scottdphoto. Somos pocos los que vamos a ver, si el hombre sigue en su afán de destruir la naturaleza, semejante maravilla. Yo que vivo cerca del mar, sé del placer inmenso que nos regalan sus aguas. Realmente me hiciste más iluminada la tarde.
