Büyük Set Resifi uzaydan görülebilen tek canlı organizma. Bu bilgi beni hatırladığım her sefer şaşırtıyor: Dünyaya bakan uzaylı gözlerin göreceği ilk canlı! Ne mutlu bize ki dünyadaki yaşam hakkında ilk izlenimi veren resif nefis kesici bir yapı. 2000 km boyunca uzanan bu doğa harikası eşsiz bir ekolojik sisteme sahip.
Balıklı, kumlu, sıcacık günlerle aramızda uzun bir kış var. Biz de içimizi fotoğraflarla ısıtalım, ısınalım.

Sometimes a little surprise can brighten up a whole day. Couple of days ago I found a disposable camera I entirely forgot about. Couldn't remember which moments were caught on the film inside. I took it to the shop to be developed and while waiting drank a cup of coffee, read a little bit. Soon my eyes met the photographs first time: It was Australia. The most beautiful of them all. From the day we went to see the Great Barrier Reef. We swam with snorkels, smiled at funny faced fishes. The ocean was everywhere and the colors of the reef system and fishes were added to its usual blue.
The Great Barrier Reef is the only living organism that can be seen from outer space. This information surprises me each time it comes to mind: The reef will be the first living thing an alien will see! I find the thought lovely. That alien will surely be impressed by this breathtaking natural wonder. The reef is stretching for over 2000 km and it has a unique ecological system.
A long winter lays between us and the sandy days of summer. For now let me keep alive that summer feeling in photographs. I miss you Australia.
