So this little known place is probably the closest I will ever get to tropical paradise. Its called Wayag, and is a group of Islands off the Western Coast of West Papua in Indonesia. Its quite a story about how I got here (i hope to write it up some time soon), but I want to pay full credits to my friend Simon Mammino for his assistance in getting this shot. Take a bow mate (and now get back to work). Nikon D200 / 10.5mm

When the “Best of Blue” challenge was summoned, I inmediately thought of the ocean; the deep, blue ocean that surrounds my native and beloved small island. And the ocean reminded me of a close friend, who loves the sea, its coral reefs, and, coincidentally.. the color blue. / So, this image became a sort of representation of watercoloured memories and good feelings. / Thanks for stopping by.

Sipadan Island off the east coast of Borneo, one of the top 5 dive spots in the world. I was fortunate to visit there in 2007 and I have been revisiting my photos of that amazing trip. This was on the boat trip home to Mabul Island after an unforgettable day of snorkeling the coral ree, swimming with its unique inhabitants, including green turtles. / Taken with the Nikon D200 I had at the time with my trusty Nikkor 12-24 wide angle lens.
Even as a small girl, Lucinda’s passion for millinery was immediately apparent. As a small tot, the lovely, quiet little girl put absolutely everything on her head and wore it about. Buckets, bowls, wastepaper baskets, lampshades – even pancakes were not safe from her deep need for headwear. Usually a rather solemn child, nothing brightened little Lucinda’s countenance like an unlikely object balanced precariously on her tiny head. As she grew, her efforts became more elaborate and she constructed origamically engineered masterpieces out of the New York Times and fanciful confections out of bits of lace, satin and felt. Her obsession with millinery was equaled only by her affection for all things aquatic, an affinity that became glaringly apparent when she perpetrated a swift kick in the shin against a distant but wealthy relative as he tucked in to an outsized lobster tail. Such all-consuming passions coupled with introversion can prove socially problematic even for strikingly attractive young ladies, but Lucinda seemed to bear it no mind. She simply tucked her sketchbook under her arm and decamped for the aquarium, where she whiled away endless hours designing headwear by the watery blue glow of the undersea exhibit. It was there that she happened to make the acquaintance of the dashing, handsome and equally odd Captain Lucien Octavio (see “Adventures of Capt. Octavio”). He wasn’t a captain yet, of course, but how could he help but be utterly smitten by a lovely young lady with a small coral reef artfully stitched to her cloche? He called for Lucinda as soon as he got his first ship, the Marinus Profundis, and they were wed on Octavio’s famous deep sea expedition to the Marianas Trench. The newlyweds each gained additional companionship on that trip, and Lucinda named hers Olive. Lucinda immediately set to work creating hats that would allow the Octavios’ cephalopodic companions to accompany them anywhere, and what magnificent chapeaux they were! Elaborate gauges and pumps ensured Olive’s moist comfort, and the octopus proved quite indispensable as a hat-making assistant. This original artwork and story are copyright Ramona Szczerba 2009.

So there you are, deep under the waves, enjoying a couple of mimosas with your Sunday brunch, and along comes a naked lady driving a giant conch shell drawn by a seahorse. Well, it’s enough to put you off your cocktails for a time, isn’t it? Fear not (and drink up!), it’s just Marcella and her fabulous Conch Carriage out for a drive! And though she tends to dress down on Sundays, you’ll never catch Marcella without her nautilus hat. It’s been rumored that if you offer to buy her a drink, she’ll race a school of groupers for your amusement – quite inexpensive as entertainment goes. Perfect as a companion piece to Emma the Nautilus-naut. This original artwork and story are copyright Ramona Szczerba 2009.

If you have not had the opportunity to spend any time several leagues under the ocean lately, you may not have realized just how stylish undersea travel has become. Witness Emma in her clever Nautilus shell craft, gently conveyed along the currents of the briny deep by her pet miniature whale, Fathom. With a her parasol to protect her from falling krill and a sonar horn in the event of traffic jam, Emma loves cruising the colorful coral reefs and continental shelves on Sunday afternoon. With plenty of room below for hitchhikers and stowaways and a turbo propeller for passing power, the Nautilus is the seacraft of choice for the hip underwater set, to be sure! Great as a companion piece to Marcella and her Conch Carriage. This original artwork and story are copyright Ramona Szczerba 2009.

Heart Reef © Vicki Ferrari A scan of an original print, taken using a Minolta SLR, back in the early 1990’s. / Heart Reef is located north of Hamilton Island, on the Great Barrier Reef, in North Queensland, Australia. It was named Heart Reef because, and obviously, it looks like a heart! / This photograph was taken from one of my regular chopper rides up on the island. I never got sick of flying in choppers, or seeing the amazing reef from the air! When you are at the Whitsundays, well worth visiting the Reef by helicopter! The view is amazing!

I really do…
Fairy Basslets, Anthias sp., under strong current. In that case they like to go out of coral hideaways. These fishes are a mix of several species showing all colors of the rainbow. Nusa Penida Island, Bali, Small Sunda Islands, Indonesia, Banda Sea From my series “Reef-Art”
I took this on Koh Tao island, Thailand. There were lots of these characteristic boats floating in the crystal clear shallows.
One caught a few months back, and one of my favorites of the day, but for some reason I overlooked it. Was the first day I purchased my new Wide Angle lens for the 5D Mk II, full frame. I ended up buying the 16-35mm f2.8 L II, and she is a beauty! All I need now if the time to get out and capture more of the beautiful mother nature at work :) The wreck of the “SS Dicky”, at Dicky Beach, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. She isn’t looking so good these days, as the sea rips away at the remains every tide. Canon 5D Mk II, 16mm. Available very large and best viewed Large!
