The Starfish and The Shark

I captured these photos when I was watching the little shark during feeding time, still at Manila Ocean Park.

A Giant Spider Crab

Here is the snapshot of giant spider crab which I captured from Manila Ocean Park and this species can be found at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in Japan. It has a lifespan of 100 years and has a diet for dead animals and shellfish. These Japanese spider crab is the largest living arthropod.

A Coral Reef That I Captured

Here is one of the coral reef I captured. I selected this because I can still recognize different objects even in monochrome colors. This is part of my Manila Ocean Park collection which captured last April 13, 2009.

Longhorn Cowfish

The two photos above are my snapshots directly coming from my camera.

This photo was captured from a video that I had recorded.

As a contribution to Yellow Mellow Monday, I select the photo I had for Longhorn Cowfish. This is one of the unique creatures I found from Manila Ocean Park. Photo captured last April 13, 2009.

Some excerpts I got:

In Filipino language, "Longhorn Cowfish" is called as "Baka Baka", they have a lifespan of 8 years, with a diet for benthic algae, sponges, polychate worms, mollusks, small crustaceans and small fish. Longhorn Cowfish is type of boxfish recognizable by its long horns that protrude from the front ot its head, rather like those of a cow or bull. It is able to find and feed on benthic invertrbrates by blowing jets of water into the sandy substrate. If stressed, this species can exude a deadly toxin, ostracitoxin, which resembles red tide and sea cocumber toxins in general properties.

Note:
Photos that I captured are some of the tried shots because the place is so dark inside, and flash camera are prohibited to avoid putting stress to the underwater world species.

The Stair And The Light

The photo above is the circular stairway up to the lights of the old lighthouse while at the bottom is photo of lights itself. After reaching this point, we found great views looking 360° view while at Kamara island.

Traveling With "Bangka" (Small Boat)

Here are some human concept photos that I captured which I do not used to do. To be honest I have few pictures from my Anawangin collection when it comes to people (but this does not mean I do not like photos of people - maybe I am more focus on the nature and places), who knows I may surprise everyone that the next theme I have here are people in my country.

Anawangin View From Kamara Island

Here is one of the photo which shows Anawangin from Kamara Island and a nice small boat with a touch of yellow color on it.

Out to Kamara Island

Series of photos above were captured while on our way to Kamara island. I knew some photos are not that look good for some reasons: we were riding a small boat (called "bangka"), we are exposed to the heat of the sun (around 11 AM to 12 PM), the moist of the sea water blocking my digital camera screen to get clear shot and I have to wipe it with my bare fingers and we are fast approaching the island which so difficult to take a still shot (I knew I don't have to explain...but I wanted to explain to justify the result of images that I got...c",) )

These are just part of Kamara Island, we landed at the other part of it where the lighthouse stands.
