Rays

I got these photos in an email today; scroll down for the text. I'm posting them as part of Carmi's Thematic Photographic - which is Nature!

Looking like giant leaves floating in the sea thousands of Golden Rays are seen here gathering off the coast of Mexico. The spectacular scene was captured as the magnificent creatures made one of their biannual mass migrations to more agreeable waters. Gliding silently beneath the waves they turned vast areas of blue water to gold off the northern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula. Sandra Critelli, an amateur photographer, stumbled across the phenomenon while looking for whale sharks.

I have already forgotten who provided the link to this story, but I have to say THANKS! It was great!
