Shark Bay

Photographer:

Paolo Giambone

Title:

Shark Bay

Description:

Notwithstanding the aggressive and perilous name - bay of sharks - it is difficult to imagine a place so rich in peace and tranquil beauty as this is. Here the sea comes to lap gently against the stony beach of this small bay protected by rocky dunes: the reef begins here, at a few swimming strokes from the shore, and it is immediately an immersion in an unreal, imaginative world populated by creatures which seem born more of the fantasy of an abstract or psychodaelic painting than of a severe and exacting nature. It seems that man has always been afraid to touch this corner of paradise.
