Wonderful creatures and features of Manly

As some of you know we are trying to move to Manly (if we can ever find a nice, affordable place). I thus thought I'd show you what Manly beach looks like. I must however admit that there generally is many more tourists on the beach as this photo was taken in the middle of winter here. Besides being a 15 minute ferry ride from Circular Quay, Sydney CBD, we are really looking forward to moving to Manly as the divecentre we usually go with is there, as well some rather good divelocation. This weekend we have visited two of those places. The picture of the seahorse is from the sharknets down by the manly ferry. The nets are actually rather amazing as they have been left for things to grow on for quite some time and there is hundreds of seahoarses hanging onto the nets to protect themselves from swell. I was soo happy after this dive as I have always wanted to see a seahorse. I will however have to go back down and try to get a better photo of them as I am not very pleased with this one.











Additionally we went to Fairlight beach, which is just a few hundred metres to the left of the wharf. Here we saw some pretty big Port Jackson sharks as well as a few different nudibranchs.









I really want a macro lens to capture these very small but beautiful creatures better!!!
