Description
Captured 6/28/09, at the beautiful Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden on the beautiful campus of California State University Long Beach in beautiful Long Beach, California.
A ZOOM will exponentially increase your viewing pleasure.
The cool clear water adds another dimension when photographing these pretty fishies.
Not much of a variety of colors on the koi so far, but the disparate textures should really come to the fore as the population increases following the crippling Koi Herpes Virus disaster.
Ta-ta, and thankx for the visit.

These fish are so cool looking...seem to have a little more grace when gliding through the water. Excellent collage of Koi my friend!:-)
So many designs and colors they have...
wonderful shot here
A winner Harry. Sure glad to see the Koi making a vigorous comeback. Like the light and shadows throughout.
Simply beautiful. I will add this to my favorites and look at it when our koi are under the ice this winter! That's the one thing I hate about winter...not being able to enjoy our beautiful koi...we always long for spring ice-out to make sure everyone is all right.
A beautiful collage of these exotic-looking fish, have never seen any with this type of marble-ling before... fascinating to view them and if you look long enough, by scanning up and down, they almost come alive! great captures, BB
Beautiful collage of Koi....love the first one with the two swimming side by side.
Glad to see the Koi's back, I especially like the top two. I also like how you managed to capture the riples, adds a lot im my opinion. Cool stuff O'lboy!!!
It seems so strange to see them in such clear water, the ones at the Japanese Garden here live in dark murk...wonder what the koi think, and which they prefer? Nice shots!
They are truly gorgeous fish! The coloring astounds me! Truly wonderful collage of images Harry! :)
Pretty colors, great to see. I know of a pond near by that is stocked with these I will have to try to remember to get out there and take a few shots. Show ya some Tennessee Koi lol have a super day!!
Excellant composition!
They look well now.
Such gorgeous fish--beautiful fotos!
Beautiful images! I love the ripples and shadows! I hope they are fruitful and multiply and stay healthy.
beauties, especially like the pair in the first shot, so well done Harry!
Very awesome collage.
The top shot is wonderful... Two opposing colours! Brilliant work.. All good shots though... Well done Harry! Rob
