Knows His Place

This fish knows his place in life: under the sand and out of sight. Once again, I'm reminded of some people who I wish would have the same wisdom.

  1. Are you sure that's not Wilson (from Cast Away)?

    This is incredible and actually beautiful in a mosaic kind of way.

    But is there any way to find out what kind of fish this is? Anybody have a clue? Any guesses??? Tell meeeeeee......

    My guess would be some sort of angler (Lophius). The genus has some 50 members. Any idea where this was taken?

    It looks like a mosaic; or a stained-glass window from hell.

  7. Alas, I know not from what waters this creature hails. I just hope its know where near the California coast.

  8. "stained-glass window from hell"

    That made me laugh out loud at work. :)

    Nice picture, Wombat.

  9. He's just like a crazy cartoon. Must be a drag looking like when you're trying to act sophisticated, or applying for a job.

  10. He seemed so unhappy. I couldn't resist cheering him up, via a 15-second photoshop:

    Jack, that's hilarious! If anything, your version is even a little creepier--imagine that thing looming out of the sediment as you enjoy a dive.
