This photograph of the grwoing end of a stalk of Macrocystis pyrifera (Giant Kelp) was taken on a Sea Divers trip to San Clemente Island in February 2008. I was looking at some of my older Southern California underwater photographs the other day and I thought this one was just a nice image, so I decided to post it here.
