Love on the Rocks - Capelin's Last Dance!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness nature's most dramatic love affair unfold on a picturesque Newfoundland beach. The stage is set for an epic romance as thousands of caplin fish gather in massive schools, ready to embark on their final journey. As the males and females come together to breed, it's a whirlwind of passion and frenzy. The air crackles with excitement as these tiny silver beauties roll and tumble in perfect synchrony along the sandy shores. It's like witnessing Mother Nature's very own dance party! But alas, this enchanting spectacle comes at a bittersweet cost. As soon as their mission is complete, both male and female capelins bid farewell to life itself - leaving behind a legacy of new life that will carry their species forward. This incredible image captures not just the sheer magnitude of this natural phenomenon but also serves as a reminder of the circle of life. It reminds us that even in death, there can be beauty and purpose. So let us raise our glasses (or should we say scales?) to these brave capelins who give everything for love! May their sacrifice inspire us all to live each day with passion and embrace every opportunity for love – no matter how fleeting it may be!
