HEAD SHOTS

by: KNUCKLEHEAD

Fri Jun 18, 2010 at 20:52:35 PM EST

Since last week, I decided that until the oil gusher in the gulf was stopped, my image posts would be exclusively about underwater life.
I know BP has been distracting us all to keep our eyes away from what`s really happening, especially with the use of dispersants, which hide the extent of the amount spilled from the surface view.
What many of you may not know is that the dispersant in the water column, is maybe even more dangerous to subsurface life than is the oil.
Here is a series of images not necessarily native to the gulf, but you get the picture.
All this would soon be dead if it was in the gulf.

How about if we (2.00 / 1)

expand that hope to include all living things in and near the Gulf coast.. I'll (much as I hate to) will even include snakes.

Thank you Head for keeping this horrible issue front and center... and for your gentle way of presenting it.

Nocatz, (2.00 / 2)

Another victim of human arrogance to add to the list.
And on a day when Tony Hayward is sailing his yacht in the "around the Isle of Wight race".
He should be in "The Trans Ocean Cup" of oil race.

KH, it's gonna be a long list. (2.00 / 2)

It's okay for them to focus on the birds, turtles, commercial fisheries....following your lead, I wondered how many other things that won't make it on the news are gonna be screwed, but had to stop after one. Maybe I can do one a day.....

Brobin, (2.00 / 3)

Thanks
I had a breeding pair of these.
The male takes all the eggs in it`s mouth for 16/17 days, where they hatch. He keeps the fry alive in his mouth for another 5/6 days before they swim off.

And to the list above; one more & why.
