New userpic! NEW with extra dolphins

I went out in a boat from Lavina in northern Bali at 0630 one day; of 85 photos of the jumping dolphins, this was the only one I actually caught out of the water.

The really astounding thing I saw that day, but wasn't able to photograph, was a flying fish; I had read descriptions of them that made their flight out as a kind of lengthened leap, but this one was moving fast, a foot or so above the water, and seemed to be flying pretty straight and level for twenty or thirty metres!

Yeah, flying fish are awesome. If you come to California, you should go out to Catalina; at certain times of year, you get flying fish on the boat-ride there, too. And dolphins.
