Down At The Bottom Of The Ocean

Life Under Water

An interesting look at the different types of sea creatures that live beneath the sea.

Stingray



 












Their flexible tail which is shaped like a whip, has poisonous spines that can give you a really nasty sting. There are several different types of Stingray species and they are normally found in warm shallow water. 

Tropical Fish

In this video clip are a large variety of tropical fish. Including Lionfish and the amazing Porcupine fish also known as a Globefish.

Leopard Shark











 View Clip 2

The Leopard Shark is uniquely different from other sharks. Not only because of how it looks, but also because it can sit at the bottom of the sandy Ocean and breath normally. Unlike some other species where in order for them to breath, they have to keep moving.

A Flat Bodied Fish













This fish is slightly bigger than the average frying pan, but when you look at it from the front view, you’d never believe it.

The Odd Couple














I’m not sure what these two fish are called, but they had so much to offer in their features. It wasn’t easy taking their picture because they moved so quickly and unexpectedly.

Gigantic Catfish


















 View Clip 3

These fish start out as small aquarium fish, but as the years go by and their inhabitants get larger, so do they. They are called Catfish because of their long whisker like barbels. The barbels are sensitive to smell touch and taste.

Curious To Know

This is very odd I’ve never witness this before

A medieval archway displayed without a door.

Looking through the passageway I see the end in sight

I’m going through, I won’t be stopped, not without a fight.

 


Inside the arch is beautiful and designed with such grace

It has a way of reminding you of a popular fictional place.





















Halfway through the passage stands an on duty guard

It’s okay though, he’s only there as certain parts are barred.

He stands tall in his shiny boots and with his sword in hand

Always at the ready to defend the queens land.





















I crept up behind him to see what he would do

He never flinched nor turned around, did he even have a clue?





















I left the scene and carried on through to the other side

A large space with gravelled floor many acres wide.
















Field Marshal Wolseley sits proudly upon his horse

A statue of honour placed on a plinth, his memory truly enforced.


















And on his left another man, Field Marshal Roberts

A top commander, but well known for his self promotional efforts.

















Behold a dragon carrying a canon I’m sure in battle he’d prevail

He’s sits ready and prepared for war with two dogs caught in his tail.


















Rain clouds gather in the sky above casting an eerie dark shade

A legendary building of royal proportions known as the Horse Guards Parade.
