A happy place - a photo on Flickriver

A happy place

            When the world is a mess of chaos, stick your head in the sand ... err, water, and go to a happy place! 

School of bigeye scad. To imagine this, say you are watching a bird murmuration, but from inside it, surrounded by it! "Mesmerizing", "serene", and just plain "fun" are words that describe this experience.  I don't do video, but video conveys this so much better than a still image.  

The swaying coral in the lower left is "Black Sea rod", or "Caribbean Sea whip" (Plexaura homomalla). The northern part of the island has mostly hard corals, but the soft coral predominate in the south part.
