Over on Where’s my backpack?, Ailsa has posted this week’s theme for her Travel Photo Challenge: Oceans.
To my surprise, I find that I don’t have too many photos that really fit the theme. Yes, I have endless photos that show water that technically belongs to an ocean, but that isn’t the same thing.
So here are a few photos that, to me, suggest at least the beauty and mystery of oceans, if not their vast scope and power…
This, once more, was at Glover’s Reef Atoll, Belize, with Slickrock Adventures. Technically on a mere sea, not an ocean, but connected, ultimately, to all of them… More photos are here.

How a-maze-ing! ;-)
:-) Thank you, Imelda!
Wonderful shots of the sea!
The sea, implied ;-)
Amazing! Love the tiny crab.
Probably if I enlarged the photo to make the crab as large as the shell now is, there would be some still tinier creature there, between the crab’s claws…
Ahhhh…the infinate…such a great comparison to the ocean…and great photos too…no wonder I like visiting
And we are so happy you do!
those are wild photos, the first almost looks three dimensional
It was a three-dimensional structure (but photographed from directly above), sticking partly out of the water at that stage of the tide…
Beautiful patterns and shapes in these images!
Thanks, Lynn! That’s why I picked them… :-)
Really beautiful, Vlad, I’ve never seen a coral reef, but your photos make me want to head to Belize now. I just went through your trip photos, looks like you all had an incredible vacation!
We sure did!
Head for Belize, but not right now—the island is now closed for the summer…
@Vlad, you always have a good idea during the trip :P Nice
Thank you, @Della Anna! :-)

I love the colors, Vladimir. I especially like the first photo…it almost looks like it is lit with a string of neon lights…
Now that you mention it, it really does! :-)
These are great – the colors are wonderful! Thanks!
Thank you, Cathy!
Absolutely gorgeous! The little crab is such a beauty and the spiral of the broken shell just draws the eye.
It’s good to have such discerning readers, or rather viewers, as you! :-)
Thanks for providing such great content!
The variety shapes found in nature is amazing – great shots
Thank you, bluebee!
Exquisite photos – reminding us of the varied life that lives in our seas and oceans!
Indeed—the whole reef in Belize where I took these pictures was teeming with strange and wonderful creatures :-)
Amazing! I just love the photo of the little crab in the seashell!
A little jewel-like crab :-)
