BASKING GLORY

BASKING GLORY

Not everybody's bandwidth or download speed may be up to this HD video of a basking shark (my computer creaks and stutters, frankly), but my goodness, this is pretty awesome. Check out the details of the shark's skin as it glides past the photographer (Dan Burton), mouth agape, straining the seawater for plankton. Beautiful!

I know they're harmless filter feeders, but I'd still get a shiver diving that near them. Amazing video.

(And the security word is "batho." Close!)
