The Craft

The CraftLooks like an alien spacecraft descended into Earth and its oceans. Not quite, but it is as it seems from this photo of a whale sharks posterior by Daniel Nicholson. A view unlike any other, with the tail fin looming in the foreground, and the only discernible aspect are the dots that betray the whale sharks identity. A view that shows the massive sea creature plunging deeper and deeper, saying goodbye to the rays of light and embracing the darkness.
