An unbelievable large school of sardines, moving as one unit, opens while each individual tries to escape at the maw of grouper and dentex. The tiny sardines found themselves in a situation which limited their chances of survival, since they were locked up between the surface and the shallow bottom, with very few possibilities to escape the predators’ mouths. The large school was so big to darken the natural light coming through the surface in the shallow water and frantically moved apart under the attacks of the groupers and dentex, to reassemble shortly after. The school of fishes continually changed shapes, similarly to the flocks of starlings in the sky. I remained hours in the shallow water, doing my best to take a representative picture, while avoiding to be part of the feast. Species : Sardines, Leopard grouper (Mycteroperca rosacea), Dentex Conservation status : Least concerned Location: Los Islotes rockeries, Espiritu Santo archipelago, Sea of Cortez, Mexico The area was declared part of a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1995

Kumbh Mela 2025: The Sacred Goes Viral. A Selfie on the Sacred Waters. An Individual Taking a Selfie on a Boat at the Kumbh Mela. On the waters of the Ganges, a couple takes a moment to capture a selfie, smiling as the sacred river flows beneath. The woman, amidst the vast spiritual gathering of the Kumbh Mela, uses his smartphone to preserve this personal moment while surrounded by the grandeur of the festival. This scene highlights the intersection of personal reflection and collective spirituality, where ancient rituals are met with modern technology. As he poses for the camera, the couple is not only commemorating his journey but also connecting with the larger experience of the Kumbh Mela, where faith and digital expression coexist.
