Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful. 361631403

Reposted by Anne EwbankDoug Mack @douglasmack.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Another great way to ensure a calm, civil Thanksgiving is to insist that everyone discuss only one topic, ideally the Voynich manuscript.
