Alien Life

Well not quite. But here is my last shot of jellyfish from the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach.

To see some other similar shots from a friend who went to the same aquarium but at a different time, check out this blog.

Wonderful capture. They are alien like. Such strange and unique creatures. Well framed, I like the particals in the water and the fine tenticals.

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan

These work well in pictures...they tend to have such graceful shapes and movements...in the water, of course! No wish to get closer to any of them! Unfortunately, these jellies are now overpopulating the bay of Yokohama.
