It's very hard to select a couple of images to share from our tour of the Highlands. I guess a decent option would be to illustrate the transition from glorious to dramatic. Enjoy.

The Cove at Salmon Landings, Strathy, Scotland, a deep ravine descencing to a small cove with a pier where long ago catches of wild salmon were landed. The ravine is steem and the higher parts are covered in bright green grass and heather. There is a wooden staircase to the bottom. The sea is calm and the sky is blue with some flat cloud cover.

The road towards Applecross, not far from the start of the Bealach na Bà (the high pass), crosses over a lively, full stream on a stone bridge. The road climbs towards high hills the top of which is shrouded in low clouds. Everything is very green with moorish patches.

In 2014, I spotted and shot a similar scene in Tulamben, Bali. Only that time, it was the lizardfish eating whole a sand perch prey, also tail first. Here, the perch was only slightly smaller than the lizard, and I think the latter might have been having trouble swallowing it. No room.

A lizarfish shot looking straight into the camera, with an open mouth in which one ca see the head of a sand perch the lizardfish is eating.

Este juez me hace llorar por mis 30 años perdidos estudiando y practicando el derecho. Hasta un lego puede razonar que la cosa está en cómo se aplique la norma al caso, no en que exista. Es dudoso que el testimonio de Aldama fuera imprescindible, sin contar que mintió en otras varias alegaciones.

Captura de un post en X donde un juez defiende la decisión del TS de eximir a un testigo colaborador con la justicia de entrar en prisión, a pesar de considerarlo corruptor y que el informe de la policía le señale como cabeza de la trama. Dicho testigo mintió repetidamente sobre diversos aspectos del caso y testificó sobre hechos ya conocidos y fundamentados como indicios por la policía, aceptando “colaborar cuando ya se le había imputado.

And there are many more examples of images I have taken while underwater that evoque outer space. This little shrimp on a coral, the white tips of the polyps against the dark mantle, really make me think of a tiny cosmonaut looking down on me from a starry sky.🦑

Celebrating the worthy quest of our species into space these days, I always come back to this simple shot of a feather star on a bubble alga, because for some reason, I've always saw it as a kind of a cosmic image. (1 of 2 mini 🧵) Indonesia, 2010. 🦑

A little brittle star (Ophiura sp) sits on top of a bubble alga (Valonia ventricosa) whose surface reflects the strobe light in bright blue, resembling a sky dome. White calcareous scales on the help creating this resemblance. The brittle star has 6 arms and is creamy with light brown center and bands along the arms.

They're spectacular! How about another beautiful starry fish? This one is a dragonet from Indonesia, 2010. 🦑 We look up to the skies, and find a fascinating mirror of beauty deep down as well.

A starry dragonet sits calmly on a coral rock, seen laterally with the head pointing towards the right of the frame. The fish is red with white dotting resembling (vaguely) stars against a deep red sky. It is a close cousin of the mandarinfish and no less worth capturing, although catching these when mating is a lot more difficult than it is for their cousins!

OK, after bugs, back to the UW pics for a cooling effect in this heat. How about two threshers crossing paths, back when they still came to clearner wrasse at Monad Shoal? (Now they seem to prefer Kimud Shoal). More in Alt. Malapascua, Philippines, 2008. 🦑🌊 #UnderwaterPhotography #Naure #Sharks

Two thresher sharks swimming by each other at right angles. Although it is difficult to be certain, the proposed ID for these two is for 2 different species. The one below, swimming from left to right of the frame, could be Alopias pelagicus. The one above, swimming towards the camera, could be alopias superciliosus, by the shape of its head. Both sharks share the thresher´s extremely long caudal fin that defines these species. The sharks can only be shot with ambient light. Flash hurst them badly as they are deep dwelling species and only come up to visit cleaning stations. Hence the slightly blurry image.
