EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing natural phenomenon known as the Flying Fish, taken around 1934 on Santa Catalina Island in California. The image showcases one of the island's peculiar attractions that never fails to amaze tourists. During certain periods of the year, these remarkable creatures gather in abundance around the island's waters. To witness this extraordinary sight during summer nights, a boat equipped with powerful searchlights embarks on a special trip. As darkness falls and the searchlights illuminate the water's surface, an enchanting spectacle unfolds before your eyes. Hundreds of Flying Fish are drawn towards this luminous display, creating a breathtaking scene that leaves spectators awe-struck. These fish gracefully glide through the air for short distances using their wing-like fins, defying gravity and showcasing their unique ability. The photographer has skillfully captured this fleeting moment when these magnificent creatures take flight from beneath the waves. Their silhouettes against the night sky create an ethereal ambiance that is both mysterious and beautiful. This stunning print allows us to marvel at nature's wonders and serves as a reminder of our planet's incredible diversity.
