This photo enjoys the dubious distinction of being my most stolen (posted anywhere without my permission) image. At last count (January 19, 2013), I had issued 700+ DMCA takedown notices for this image being used without my permission (the copyright owner's permission is required under law before the image can be used, and NO ONE has ever requested permission).
The Aquarium of the Pacific had a few new things to see when I visited yesterday in an attempt to escape the summer heat. This bubble coral was one of the new exhibits, and it was fascinating to watch the subtle movements in this living coral. I also loved the luminous quality, texture and colors in the bubbles.
