The unbearable lightness of shadows
About those shadows:
I recently checked out a quite large tank (21,000 gallons) at Stockholm's "Aquaria" museum. There the fishes definately had shadows that were visible if they were closer than about five or six inches to the reef floor. This applied only to the smaller fish like regal tangs or the beautiful copperband butterfly they had. The five feet sharks left shadows even though they were swimming at the top of the tank (ten feet above the bottom).
Did they have a different kind of light at this place or what?

Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think.
"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'
I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history.
