Splash

Many intelligent creatures play, when hunger is satisfied they look for pastimes.

These beautiful animals were racing each other through the water, their sleek bodies leaping and, instead of the simple "surface and breath" behaviour, they were making splashes.

Surely, they were doing it for fun?

A colour photo of a stretch of sea under a cerulean sky with some fluffy cloud. The water surface reflects the colour of the sky, a deep sapphire blue. In the distance is a range of impressive mountains, well defined in the clear air and sunlit from the left. In the centre of the shot is a line of white water splashes and close inspection reveals the backs and fins of aquatic animals creating the spray by leaping.
