I stumbled upon The Daily Post prompt Contrast: “Light and dark, tall and short, happy and sad — this week, share a shot that captures a contrast.”
I remembered this photo I took in the Public Aquarium, and although at first glance it is about contrast of light and dark, I find a deeper contrast within – illusion of freedom in a little fish tank.
“No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.”
— Jacques Yves Cousteau, Oceanographer
Good quote, too.
