Algae - Theme Week
Description: This is, probably, my favorite photo of figures in the water.  I had fountain and waterfall at one of my old houses.  When the chlorine got low, it would turn a bit green.  I had the Whale out, one day, and managed to get this photo of Hit and Run and the 1994 Shipwreck.  The fact that I got Hit and Run to hold steady on the sunken ramp while the air bubbles came up around Shipwreck's head was nothing but pure luck.  I don't think I've had the Whale out since this photo.  And, it was taken prior to 2010.  It's just too daunting to dig it out, put it all together, realize how badly it's deteriorated in storage and then lug it down to some water.  One day I'll do it.  Just not sure when.

Awesome shot, on closer look, it's more impressive than I ever imagined, noticing things like the handgrip and how deep the water is.

This is an excellent shot, especially with the conditions involved in taking it.  Balancing figures like this can be a challenge.

I know what you mean about using the Whale.  I've not touched mine in years.  I even have new decals for it.  I just can't be bothered to mess with it, especially when it needs a couple new parts.

This is a really cool shot, everything works together really nicely.

I have a soft spot for that 1994 Shipwreck. He was the first figure of Shipwreck we had, and he's one of the better 1994 figures.

I remember this shot! It's really amazing you got the posing that good without a figure slipping away.

Also, I get what you mean about large vehicles in storage. Though, I would love to see some new Whale shots from you.
