Spinner dolphins at the water’s surface – a pod in the open sea by Laura Georgi Tier- und Ladschaftsfotografie

The upper half of the image is dominated by the water itself: the underside of the rippling
surface reflects the sunlight in a thousand tiny facets, resembling
a crumpled strip of mirror. Beneath this, the clear blue opens up – and within it
a pod of spinner dolphins spreads out across the entire width of the image.

Six animals can be seen, two of them close together in the centre, spinning past one another
, surrounded by a trail of rising air bubbles. Such
contact is no coincidence: dolphins keep their pods together through physical contact
, and spinner dolphins spend the daylight hours resting and interacting closely
in shallow water before hunting together at night. The others swim
calmly alongside, each in a slightly different direction – a group, not a pod.
The bright networks of light from the surface run across their backs. The photograph was taken
whilst snorkelling from the side, without a flash and without getting too close.

As a wall hanging, this image has a sense of vastness and calm. The continuous blue, combined with
the silvery surface, suits maritime, light and modern interiors – in the
living room, bedroom, bathroom, in doctors’ surgeries, physiotherapy centres, spa and
wellness areas, yoga studios, diving schools and hotels. It is particularly effective in landscape format
, where its tranquillity really comes into its own. On acrylic glass, the water appears particularly clear and
luminous; on canvas, it appears softer.

A gift for divers, snorkellers, marine biologists, dolphin lovers and anyone who
is committed to protecting the oceans.
