See here.
Thousands of them gathering off Mexico.
Wow, some amazing pictures!
Wow, that is awesome!
Very cool! (I’d like to see what they look like coming as well as going.)
Very cool pictures. Thanks for sharing!
(And who else is thinking M. C. Escher, now?)
That was my immediate impression.
That’s the most delicious mass migration I’ve ever seen.
I’m always amazed by the world’s ability to contain beautiful things that I haven’t even thought of let alone seen. Great pictures.
I saw that photo in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago, and the story said that “some doubts had been raised” over its authenticity. I couldn’t see why, it looks perfectly legitimate to me, and Googling doesn’t turn up any evidence for fakery.
That’s the trouble with the internet. Any idiot can say “looks photoshopped to me” or “obvious fake” - and they do.
Simply stunning.
That’s easy – just turn the picture around!
Yes, it´s fake.
Those are actually blue spotted stingrays, a species notorious for its penchant for practical jokes. They just dressed up as Golden rays and pulled a prank on that boat crew.
Those guys are a riot, you should have seen what they did for last April´s Fools day. 
Those are some pretty awesome images. Yeah, the Escher connection hit me as well.
You should see the migration of the wild African cows. So. Much. Steak.
I once was diving in Santa Barbara at a spot called “Thousand Steps” (for those of you who know the area). Its a nice spot, lots of kelp, fishes to spear, occasional other things. It was a kind of murky day, and you always have the creepy, claustrophobic feeling on days with restricted visibility.
Anyway, as I swam along, I had the feeling something was following me. I whipped around to come nose to nose with a massive freaking ray, which had, in fact, been trailing along a foot or so behind me. We both started backwards, and then swam off in different directions, my heart, at least, pounding.
Now I suspect it was one of them darn blue spotted stingrays, goofin’ around.
Beautiful. Gorgeous. Deeply moving.
I’d have paid good money to have been there.
Yes, thank you for sharing that. I actually thought of gingko leaves, because they’re the same shape & color. And I second what caveat lector said.
“Don’t ray-s me, bro!”
Yes, it’s pretty and all that but is no one else concerned about where all those rays are going and what they have planned when they get there?
Rays have been making the news a lot in the past few years, first they take out Steve Irwin, a guy who might have been able to warn us about this. Then they start attacking random people like A COUPLE OF TIMES! Then the Tampa Bay Devil Rays change their name to just Rays and they start winning! Ray Romano quit his TV show probably to plan for something really big. Something weird is going on, I tell you! C’mon people! We can’t just ignore this and let them skate by with their insidious plans. Grow some backbone and prepare for what lies ahead!
Just wait till they show up with frikkin lasers on their heads – then we’ll see some killer rays.
