This image was inspired by dives off North Mole at Fremantle
where the water there is packed with Weedy Seadragons (well...figuratively
speaking...saw 3 or 4 of them). Anyone who thinks that there is no magic on
this Earth has never swum with Phyllopteryx before - swaying with the
current like dead kelp they hardly seem alive until you see the flickering
dorsal fin.
Er...incidentally this is a different seadragon from the one you often see on nature documentaries - thats usually the Leafy Seadragon - Phycodurus eques - less colourful, more ornate tassling.
It's great to have cool marine life practically on your doorstep!
