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.

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…

It was a three-dimensional structure (but photographed from directly above), sticking partly out of the water at that stage of the tide…

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…
