When you watch documentaries about the Great Barrier Reef there are fish everywhere. Schools of fish crash together and brightly colored fish hide behind every corner. It was perhaps my greatest surprise that the Great Barrier Reef was exactly like in documentaries.
Here is just a sampling of the fish that stayed still long enough for me to photograph.
The ocean floor is full of valleys and hills that form some wonderful landscapes. Schools cling to the side of these valleys and hills adding an extra level of interest. Best of all, the landscapes don’t move, which is a relief after chasing shy fish.
The Abel Point Marina and surrounding waters at Arlie Beach were a source of many beautiful pictures during my trip. I got rides into and out of town with my wonderful hosts Jonkie and Suzette. They work at the Marina, so I spent a lot of time in and around the Marina particularly at sunset
