Bright Lights, Big Cathedral


The visibility was much better down below, but I like how my eyes get pulled to the yellow weights and then set free. (Did you see the funny face first? Glowing eyes and blue smile?)

Kelp-hopping off Lover's Point in Pacific Grove.

I also like this shot--and the shot below--because this is how diving often can be, not so good for photography, but still wonderful for swimming and looking around. (I sometimes see more when I put away the camera.) The water and sky weren't cooperating for those cathedral shots, but we were still swimming through those cathedrals, those green halls of kelp and salt and sacred motion.
