thought someone might be interested in these images i shot this past friday (December 5) at Point Lobos State Reserve. I was diving there and just before we started to head home, someone noticed something pinkish on the beach in the distance shooting water into the air. when we climbed down the rocks to the beach, we found 20 humboldt squid which had beached themselves (possibly biotoxins from red algae blooms?). they were still alive and changing colors, quirting water and ink. really amazing and beautiful, if not a little sad...
