#FotoVorschlag: Dem Boden ganz nah // Very close to the ground

Damit diese #Braunalge dem Meeresboden ganz nah ist, bildet sie so eine komische Knolle, mit der sie sich an Felsen verankert. Diese schnell wachsende, einjährige Algenart kann bis zu 4 m lang werden und wächst in Tiefen bis 35 m. Im Herbst ist Feierabend, und oft wird die Knolle dann wie hier an den #Strand geschwemmt.

This #brownAlgae stays close to the seabed with the help of its warty, bulbous #holdfast that attaches to rocks. A fast growing, annual #seaweed, it can reach up to 4 metres in length and is found at depths of up to 35 metres. In autumn, it begins fruiting and starts to decay, with the #bulb often washing up on the #shore.

I wonder how many divers have ever seen...or thought they saw...a silhouette like this amid the swaying leaves...

My own rendition of such a vibe, "Mermaid in swirling kelp forest".

We're going deep beneath the waves this Thursday, July 31, at the Civic Center branch. Join us at 6PM as we explore San Diego's kelp forests and all they contain, before making kelp forest collages to celebrate this marine marvel! #chulavistapubliclibrary #steam #stem #stemforkids #sandiego #summer #kelp #kelpforest

I wonder what life is like for such a being as this...what pleasures do they enjoy, what terrors do they suffer...what would they think of us? Or would they even think of us at all? That'd be nice...to be in another world away from it all.

My own artwork, "Mermaid in swirling kelp forest (warmed and softened)".
