PTOTW---Sharks!

Okay, so I know that I've started this photo theme before. I also know that I've posted this picture before. However this board could use a little life and it has been far too long since someone posted a photo theme.

Here are a couple from my trip to the Cayman Islands. The first one has a funny caption added by a friend of mine:

Thanks Doc. I'll see what I can do to get this fixed. When I first entered the URL, I could see the shark images just fine. Then, within a short time, they mysteriously disappeared. :-(

For now, to see the shark images, you can click on my link in the signature in my post (http://www.pbase.com/ornate_wrasse), click on the Grand Cayman gallery and they will be there.

Thanks for the heads up. I've been quite busy with tax season and my free time is now at a premium, but I will get on this as soon as I can.

Yes. The pic isn't very good since I took it from a video clip. Here is the video :-). Click on the image to play. Try not to laugh too hard at my poor video skills...seeing an OWT at night had me a little jazzed up....

An interesting side note. When the liveaboard came back to port, I spoke with Elke Bojanowski, who was working at that time as a DM on one of the Blue O Two liveaboards. She has created a photo ID catalog of certain shark species in the Egyptian Red Sea to support shark research projects in the Red Sea. She added the shark in the video to the database....and also confirmed that she had seen the same shark the day after I saw it within a few miles of my sighting (OWTs are identifiable by their fin markings). It hasn't been seen since, but cool that it is in the databse with a map of where it was seen.
