Reef

Just back from Brisbane where

I visited a display

of underwater life in tropical Australian waters.

A few months ago I bought a $300 underwater camera

in preparation for a snorkeling visit sometime this Winter to a

Pacific Island or the Great Barrier Reef looking for a scene just like

the one above.

Last Friday, in

Brisbane, I discovered

in a museum,

above water on dry land

a static constructed model of a reef

including fish

that was very like

the one I had envisaged.

There was no glass

through which to photograph.
