From the Sea

 

1991: For A Better Environment
The Mediterranean coastline and its wildlife
2006: Norwegian Marine Life IV
Meanwhile in the Atlantic - a sea urchin with a name that seems to use a good portion of the alphabet Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis, Green Sea Urchin (found in northern waters around the world).
1980: Animals

Ocean perch
1981: Painting

'Hauling the Line' by Gunnlaugur Scheving who painted life in Iceland, many of whose works featured the sea, as can be seen here


A seal hauling out from the sea at low tide. Our local haul out has a seal cam so one can take an interest in the seal and pup numbers when it is the winter breeding season from the comfort of a couch.

    The sea urchin is my favorite. I also appreciate the style of the Icelandic stamps.

    The sea urchin is my favourite, too. I love all the stamps, though.

    Sea urchins are such cool creatures. I follow several bird cams and even a bear cam, but a seal cam piques my interest. The Icelandic stamp makes me think of Deadliest Catch (et al) which can induce seasickness just watching those swells!

    I don't know how I missed this! That first is amazing.
