Snaps!: Deep Sea Critters

The ocean is a vast body containing all sorts of creatures and places yet to be explored.
To me the ocean is sorta like the universe, it's huge and eerie yet we are drawn by its beauty.

I'm not a fan of huge weird creatures from the sea, to be exact I hate them. Yet I have a huge interest in all things from the deep blue sea. Here's a few pics that I've taken from the Behance Network's (do check them out!) 'Another World' post.

Pure gold eh? I love the whole world and indeed it's such a brilliant place to live in. :)

So many natural beauties we have yet to discover, and so many we never will.

This post makes me shudder (never a fan of deep ocean floor creatures and jellyfish) but the hydromedusae is really 'beautiful', so colorful.

C: Yeah there's just so many more things not discovered yet but at least there's progress.

M: Yeah same here. It's amazing what nature has to offer. Btw, did Rosie come over to CBD the last few weeks or has she gone back to KK?
