EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this incredible shot captured by Michael Nolan, a lone Atlantic flying fish showcases its remarkable flight skills as it flees from the bow of a passing vessel. With its vibrant tropical colors and elegant trailing tail, this daring vertebrate takes to the air in a desperate bid for safety. As the fish soars above the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, leaving behind an impressive splash trail, one can't help but marvel at its agility and determination. Its pectoral fins spread wide like wings, propelling it higher into the sky with each beat. From a high angle view, we witness nature's own version of an airborne spectacle near Ascension Island. This single fish defies gravity and embraces freedom with every graceful movement through the air. It's truly a sight that reminds us of both nature's beauty and resilience. With no commercial use in mind but rather pure admiration for these fascinating creatures, Michael Nolan captures their flee response in all its glory. So next time you find yourself daydreaming about escape or seeking inspiration to soar above life's challenges - remember this extraordinary image of an Atlantic flying fish taking flight towards safety against all odds!
