Humboldt Squid at Point Lobos, CA

[dawn11]

thought someone might be interested in these images i shot this past friday (December 5) at Point Lobos State Reserve. I was diving there and just before we started to head home, someone noticed something pinkish on the beach in the distance shooting water into the air. when we climbed down the rocks to the beach, we found 20 humboldt squid which had beached themselves (possibly biotoxins from red algae blooms?). they were still alive and changing colors, quirting water and ink. really amazing and beautiful, if not a little sad...

Dawn...I looked one photo, but even with high speed cable connection I don't have time to wait for the others to download!

I looked at quite a few of them and really liked them... but at 46.6 kbs is was... sloooow going.

Worth it though.

There is no way that is the normal download speed and I have checked my speed to Cnet - the rest of the web is running fine.
