Where is Walla Walla? Those are some colorful birds!
Now that's what I call a versatile piece of water. Swimming in summer and skating in winter
With that building, I can imagine what the rooms on the far left might be, but is the quite nice, modern rest of the building also community owned? Apparently somebody lives there, or is it a community or sports facility?

It's too far outside the village to go skating in winter. We have two ponds in my village, and one not too far away, where we go skating.
The complete building is community owned. Nobody lives there. It's only used in summer.

Walla Walla is in south eastern Washington, U.S.A. It about 30 miles from where I live in Dayton.
Walla Walla, Washington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Other than the ducks, none of the birds I posted are native to the area.

NEVER! How absolutely beautiful. I have done a lot of diving in many places and never saw anything like it! Thanks for sharing, it is a picture to cherish. Where did he see it?

Thank you for the nice words. It was somewhere in the Shelikof Straits, in Alaska.
I have a lot of pictures from their research trip. I can post some if you are interested in seeing them.

I don't know if I have any more pictures quite like that. Just different kinds of pictures from the research trip. Pictures of the volcano island called Mount Augustine. It is in the the Cook inlet. Also the Ushagat island and Iniskin bay... Etc., etc..

I've seen many basket stars on night dives in the Caribbean. During the day, they typically ball up and hide inside vase sponges, but at dusk they climb to the lip of the sponge and unfurl their arms to catch prey animals that drift by. Fully open, they form a disk about a meter in diameter. I suppose there are many species, and the Alaskan ones are a bit different. I always thought seeing them was a special treat.

I did some checking and I found that there are several species of these basket starfish found in Australia, in places like the Great Barrier Reef. Something to keep in mind if you take a trip there.
I have been to The Great Barrier Reef twice and snorkelled many times in different areas.....never saw those.
Maybe they are in deeper water.
