These are the large floating canopies of the Giant Kelp, more specifically Macrocystis Pyrifera. I love how the light comes through the web of their large translucent blades.
The kelp forests are home to hundreds of species of fish but have been dangerous to humans. Although rare, there have been drownings of both abalone hunting free divers and recreational scuba divers after having become tangled in the kelp.

The scent of collard greens being cooked is very distinct but it does not correlate to their taste. When I cooked collard greens for the first time this weekend I found myself thinking “My kitchen smells like a southern soul food restaurant.” and I realized that I never knew what that smell was before.
The Benwood Wreck is an artificial reef off of the Florida Keys. The Benwood was sunk on April 9, 1942 after an unintentional collision with another boat, the Robert C. Tuttle. Both boats were traveling at night and rumors of German U-Boats in the area had convinced them to sail in black-out. Neither ship saw the other until a collision was unavoidable. After some attempts to save the boat, the captain of the Benwood gave the order to abandon ship.
