Kelpscape

San Miguel

San Miguel is smaller than Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa, but it still looks pretty big from offshore, near Judith Rock.

Kelp Bed

Sardines

Sardines at Groovy Wall, southeast of Santa Rosa.  "Groovy Wall" sounds better than "East End Pinnacles", which is another name for this site.  This photo was made with our new Nikon Coolpix camera, which is smaller and simpler than the Nikon F5 that I usually use.  But, the adjustments for color and exposure are tricky underwater. Sometimes the results are interesting even so.
