2006.06.03 Flying school

Near Cape Erimo, Hokkaido

20060504 138 and 133-140.jpg

I have of course indulged in a little fantasy here.

Thanks to David Nightingale for the inspiration.

The background and the tethered fish are from one original picture. The
rest of the fish swam in from another 6 shots which I took at the same time.

A related "straight" picture

is in the Hokkaido gallery.

OK so now I can tell you:
1) it is the same boat; and
2) apparently there isn't a 1:1 correspondence between fish and boys.

On a related note, Ayun Uncle pointed out that all the red fish appear to be pregnant...

Ok so now I have to know:
1) Is that the same boat?
2) Has somebody been a very busy father?

This really is a fabulous shot. The subject makes it quite easy of course, but noticing the subject in the first place and collecting it so well are key.

Great find David. They all look so good together and look as if to by flying without any string attached.Well done.

Wow, how do you do that! Well, I won't understand even you try to explain in easy words... now everytime when I see these "fish" again I'll think of your "flying school"

We like your other great pics as well.
