In preparation for the big Monterey Shootout Digital Underwater Photography Contest, Heather and I have been doing some diving around Monterey. We’ve found a reliable spot to locate Lions Mane Nudibranchs. The white thing that Heather is lighting up is one of those nudibranchs.
Found another one!
Doing macro photography is a challenge underwater.
Heather has really good buoyancy control to make these shots work.
We have been doing some diving around Monterey after work. A friend of ours in town has a boat that we occasionally go out on. Some of the offshore sites are quite fabulous.
A big school of blue rock fish was hanging out on this pinnacle.

Such a magnificent sight! Blue rock fish everywhere!

After coming back from a work trip to Paris, I found myself in the middle of Monterey Bike Night.
So many wonderful classic metric muscle bikes.
Dat Japanese six cylinder.
A Kawasaki 4 banger.
Another six cylinder Honda! These are pretty rare bikes. To see two on one block is pretty amazing.
There probably were over 1000 bikes parked all up and down Cannery Row.
A really cool old Honda. Not too many like these around anymore.
