Jellyfish - (Rhizostoma pulmo)

Jellyfish - (Rhizostoma pulmo). I photographed this jellyfish (Rhizostoma pulmo) in the sea of Cagliari (Sardinia) with Nikon coolpix sub camera. This jellyfish is not very stinging and is among the largest in the Mediterranean, up to 60 cm. Swim slowly surrounded by small fish. Thank you for your comments

incrivel , beleza total...

Mille grazie, Miguel

Giangiorgio...This totally changes my outlook on jellyfish!This and your other image are really amazing and I must confess I am taken by the vivid colors and the shape of these.Jellyfish are normally scarce in our cold waters but this past summer,paticularly dry and warmer saw an influx of these,not so colorful but in very large quantities....another sign of climate changes due to global warming still denied by some.I'll save this shot in my Favorites!Salutations-Laurent

Laurent I am very happy that you liked and appreciated these photos of jellyfish, which are not dangerous. Thank you for your nice comment always welcome. ciao Giangiorgio

These are certainly new to our images of jelly fish- must have been quite an experience for you to swim amongst them!

Fantastic image Giangiorgio!

Another wonderful, colorful composition where the lower part resembles lilacs (the lower part of the jellyfish, that is) while the upper parts resembles a bride's veil in the part of the head! Complimenti, maestro! PDE
