August 28th, 2007 — Australia, Bubbles, Cappuccino Coast, Ocean, Sea
Yesterday the shore front of New South Wales Australia was transformed into a mass of bubbles.
From Daily Mail:
Foam swallowed an entire beach and half the nearby buildings, including the local lifeguards’ centre, in a freak display of nature at Yamba in New South Wales. One minute a group of teenage surfers were waiting to catch a wave, the next they were swallowed up in a giant bubble bath. The foam was so light that they could puff it out of their hands and watch it float away.
Sea foam is not actually that uncommon of a sight. Here in my hometown of Pensacola Florida, you can often find bubbles and foam on the beaches. What is uncommon is the sheer quantity of foam produced.

July 31st, 2007 — Antarctica, Ice, Ocean, Photos, Sea
Found this amazing photo essay of marine life living under the Antarctic Ice flows. The photographer, Norbert Wu, worked in Antarctica from 1982 to 1996. He took these off of the coast of Antarctica in partnership with the U.S. National Science Foundation. The photos in the slide show and more are available in his book, Under Antarctic Ice.

June 15th, 2007 — Jules Verne, Nautilus, San Francisco, Sea
Continuing the sea theme that my last post started, comes the Nautilus themed offices. Wired has a photo set of a game design company in San Francisco, that had their offices made up to look like the inside of Jules Verne’s Nautilus. The company, Three Rings Design, makes online puzzle games. I really recommend checking out the pictures. The detail they put into the office is amazing.
