  • The one day of my stay here on Grand Cayman that I decided to dedicate to shooting macro was of course the day we saw the most eagle rays and had the closest turtle encounters!<br />
<br />
Here, a Cayman cleaner goby (Elacatinus cayman) takes a very brief siesta to have his picture taken. These little fellas are endemic to the Cayman Islands and currently listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List.

  • To answer yesterday's little quiz, that aerial shot was of USS Kittiwake, a former submarine rescue vessel for the US Navy. After being decommissioned in 1994 it was sunk as an attraction for scuba divers off Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman in 2011. It's pretty amazing to see just how much it has changed in only 8 years. Check out earlier pictures on the web and you'll find that it used to be white! What's even more impressive is that it was sunk upright, but strong surges from tropical storm Nate pushed the wreck closer to the reef and tipped it over on its port side.

  • Another macro gem from Grand Cayman! This is a fairy basslet (also called royal gramma - Gramma loreto), and probably one of the prettiest fish I've seen anywhere. Thankfully, finding them is fair(l)y easy, as they are rather common on the reefs around the island.

  • It's amazing how fast the sea can claim a shipwreck. The former USS Kittiwake, a submarine rescue vessel, was sunk a mere 8 years ago and is already home to  countless plants and animals, like these sponges in the pilot house.
