Love the sculptures howard , did they make any out of ice??
I remember seeing some ice sculptures once, very impressive..

Can only image it would have taken to form and compact the snow like that..

Took this shot for an entry in a photo competition...

Constellation of stars

Mmmm. BMW. I'd go out to the garage and look at mine right now, but it's too cold.

They use concrete forms, and build large 10X10X12' high blocks of snow weighing 20 tons.

(not my photo)

They get snow from the ski area (no problem there) and use clean white snow. They fill the forms with heavy equipment, and people pack it tight... It takes a few days for setup.

The teams get 65 hours to complete their sculptures, and they can only use hand tools... no power tools at all. This is the 17th annual competition.

I put three of the seascape pictures together and added a stereotypical narcissistic name underneath it.

Some recent shots.
First three were taken between ISO 800-1600, excuse the noise :blush:...

I really like the flower shots. If you run them through NoiseNinja, you'll get rid of most of that noise.

These were taken at Anacapa yesterday.

Kelp

If it's not a Spanish Shawl, I can't identify it.

A Batray just hanging out on the bottom.

Another photo of the same guy.

A Spanish Shawl, the only Nudibranch I can identify.

Another Spanish Shawl.

A Sealion with a lot of backscatter.

Some kind of crab in his mobile home.

An Island Kelpfish I think.

And finally, a Bluebanded Goby.
