I’ve dived and snorkelled in different parts of the world and so, for me, the sea is about the many strange and wonderful things that live in it – I think of it as liquid art.

“Liquid art:” what a great way to see the sea! Love this sea horse. 🙂
Thanks, Catbird – so many colourful and comical characters under the sea, although many lose their colour once preserved as specimens, like this one in the Melbourne Museum.

Indeed a fine term for the sea.
Thanks, Charles. Do you get to dive or snorkel in your part of the world?
A sea monster! 😀
Who? Me? 🙂
What a totally original and effervescent take on the theme, BB. I do believe you are right. Liquid art. I shall remember that.
Under the sea: an endlessly fascinating place to be. Thanks, Kate.

What an original take on the challenge!
Thanks, Gilly. The sea holds many secrets.
Liquid Art – spot on!
So much to see under the sea. Thanks, GFB.
like every one love liquid art.
Am looking forward to getting back to my favourite art gallery this summer with mask and snorkel. Thanks, Benedicte 🙂

beautiful image – liquid art – you’d love it around here then – don’t even have to get in a boat to go diving to look at the reef – not that I’ve done any of that (too cowardly ;); though I did want to be a marine biologist when I was about 10.
Thanks, Gabe. Have mask and snorkel – will travel 🙂 It’s never too late to become a marine biologist!
I’d be that weird marine biologist who refuses to enter the marine environment 😉 – now I’d rather be a criminologist.
Haha. That would be a first.
A criminologist? Very interesting I have been toying with the idea of doing the PI course at TAFE – I could be your gumshoe 🙂
hahaha – great idea – I was also tossing up whether to do a PI course (I want to write crime fiction and I remember when Tara Moss did a PI course so that she would know the ins and outs of the PI world – I have the same logic for the criminology course, plus I’ve always been interested in the psychology of crime – one of the first things I studied at Uni in Abnormal Psychology was the famous serial killers, and I was just fascinated. Make sure you tell me if you go ahead with the PI course, ’cause I will need to pick your brains (and not in a Hannibal Lecter kind of way 😉 )
A crime-writers’ retreat at your place! How awesome would that be?! Although, I won’t be bringing any chianti… 😯
That’s rather sad 😦
I guess the Melbourne Museum has to get its specimens from somewhere – I prefer to see liquid art in its natural gallery as per my linked poem.
And there I thought liquid art was sipping vintage beverages!
A sea horse is a truly strange creature.
Haha – I appreciate your kind of liquid art too, Col. This is a weedy sea dragon. The leafy sea dragons are even weirder: try and spot one of these hanging about in seaweed – http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/fish/sea-dragon/
Yes, that photo, still with the look of life. And your poem, linking parts of a whole: incinerating heat…cool water; …weighted but weightless…; …heightened…calm; sculptures …conceal and reveal. I’m inhaling and exhaling in unison.
