helen walne photos that make me feel a certain way

[two photos taken underwater, angled towards the surface to showcase the sunlight filtering down over the natural sea flora and fauna.

in the first photo, the view starts at the bottom of a steep incline covered in hundreds of sea urchins looking up towards a school of small silvery fish swimming through the ultramarine water past a bit of orange-brown kelp.

in the second photo, the view peers through thick strands of brown and yellow kelp that surround the frame on all sides and break the sunlight into many thin shafts of contrasting light and darkness. a few fish are scattered here and there, and the water takes on a cold blueish-grey tinge.
