Bait ball - The Science of swarms Thanks to new observation technologies, powerful software, and statistical methods, the mechanics of collectives are being revealed. Indeed, enough physicists, biologists, and engineers have gotten involved that the science itself seems to be hitting a density-dependent shift. Without obvious leaders or an overarching plan, this collective of the collective-obsessed is finding that the rules that produce majestic cohesion out of local jostling turn up in everything from neurons to human beings. Behavior that seems impossibly complex can have disarmingly simple foundations. And the rules may explain everything from how cancer spreads to how the brain works and how armadas of robot-driven cars might someday navigate highways. The way individuals work together may actually be more important than the way they work alone.
British Wildlife photographer Christopher Swann swam in
the midst of a frenetic battle of life and death to capture these
images off the coast of the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean.

out of context
Hello everyone, to celebrate crossing 20,000 followers line and to advertise ultimate travel and photo opportunity I'm sharing again everybody favorite album bait ball symphony.
Images in this album were taken during annual Sardine Run in South Africa, one of the greatest natural events. Every year I go there to observe and photograph this show - this year is not an exception. I'm bringing group of people with me - to share costs and experience - I don't make money out of this. I still have two spots left on the boat - out of 6 total. If I don't find two more people either 4 of us will have to cover cost of 6 people boat or it will be filled with someone I did not screen myself - and it's always better to have trusted group on demanding trip like this.
Dates are Jul 1st - Jul 15th, but they may change very slightly in coming month.
If you are experienced diver and will be interested to join - please send me message for further details.
And enjoy the images, eveyone ! ^_^
