Description
To me this is a totally ordinary scene and barely worth notice, never mind taking a picture! However, it sometimes occurs to me that not everyone lives where I live, so I thought I'd show you a little slice-of-life shot.
These divers are getting ready to go out to the underwater park at Edmonds. If you want to know what it looks like down there, I found a YouTube video and there's lots of information about the park on line.
The red buoys mark the location of the park. This shot was taken about 45 minutes after low tide, shortly after noon. At this time of year, the surface temperature of the water is around 45F, and deeper is colder!
I probably wouldn't have noticed these folks, but I had an out-of-town guest (Vaggabondd) and was doing the tour guide thing. It's fun to see your own town through someone else's eyes!
I always forget to take shots like this, because I tend to be more focused on details and angles and light.

Wow very interesting Tara, the underwater park is a fascinating concept! Thanks for sharing and excellent photo :)
Nice scene..they are lucky that it is so close to shore..the Yongala is a very popular diveing spot out from Townsville..they have to travel a long way to get to it..so to have something this close is great..
Great capture...
Brrrr - thats cold. Thank you for sharing this very interesting facts. I'm def going to have a look at the video. xx
Nice shot and interesting ;)
I always wondered what the underwater park was like, thanks so much for the link to the video! Great shot, leads the mind to wondering...water is a bit choppy and looks very cold, great contrast between that and the reflections on the shore!
I never knew there was such a thing as an underwater park, except when ours was flooded. So thanks for sharing Tara, great video, not checked out the info yet. Excellent image and narrative. Bravo!!!!!
Absolutely fascinating, and the video adds to it. I must say my North America geography is appalling, I often wish we all had a little map on our home page. I haven't a clue where most folk live, and I don't understand the state abbreviations!
How very interesting, TK, and super shot ! ...now I'm off to see the youtube ! ~ Hugs ~
Very interesting, Tara!
nice shot:)
Oh it must have been a ball to have good company in such cold weather. It is very pleasing how the red buoys line the water surface. I am sure I would not have been so enthusiastic to dive in these cold waters.
Well I don't see diver ready to go and observe the deep sea so for this is a great and very interesting shot. Like a greyish colors againts a yellow airtanks.
Oh that was a really interesting story and fantastic to see the under water park, which i didnt know existed.. And it is indeed an excellent shot of yours. Thanks for sharing :)))
looks like they should be in andreas pond....;) neat capture
Fantastic shot.
Beautiful perspective shot with reportage attached. Thanks for the information. Mike
now thats a shot that i
m happy to see as it shows what happens in someone elses life .excellent capture and composition tara :o) mickAnd after this you'll show us the pics of you and Randy donning wet suits to take some underwater shots, right??? ;'] I watched the video ... this place rocks! Thanks for sharing this. And I understand perfectly about not seeing photo ops in your own town. I find myself constantly thinking there's nothing else to photograph here ... would be great to have another pair of eyes to confer with. Beautiful capture!
Wonderful capture Tara, the part I like most is the two front frogmans reflection in the beach...Nice work!
Wonderful shot. My grandson did a similar thing down in Monterey and loved it.
Personally I think that the best place to be is on top of the water..:) but admire these folks for their determination and skills.. and a nice candid image..
wonderful capture, Tara sweet weekend to you warm hug with a smile, Linda
Fantastic shot Tara!
Very cool shot my friend I remember it well :)
wonderful natural capture well done cj xx
it is common for people living in their own town to overlook beautiful and interesting sights but a stranger will spot them.an old story about Monterrey Mexico which has beautiful mountains. a tourist tells a local you sure are lucky to live here and the local asks why. well you have these beautiful mountains.the local asks where!! excellent capture
A great shot, and it sure looks cold! I enjoyed your narrative, too.
I didn't realize there were underwater parks. Great shot, and thanks for the link to the video.
Oh buoy! Utterly sharp clarity, and excellent POV, DOF, contrasts and textures in this amazing shot of the diverse divers, my dear friend!
