Another image from my old home aquarium, captured years ago with the faithful Pentax K20D. The colours remain surprisingly vivid — cool, fluid hues that seem to breathe anew with each glance.
At the centre drifts an angelfish, elegant and deliberate, its fins like silken banners unfurling in slow motion. Native to the quiet, shaded tributaries of the Amazon Basin, the angelfish glides among submerged roots and dappled light in its natural home, where the waters are soft, warm, and rich with life. Its form — tall, slender, almost ethereal — evolved for that still world of reeds and reflection.
In the glass confines of an aquarium, it retains its ancestral poise: a creature both ornamental and ancient, carrying within its gentle movements the memory of a forested river far away. Even after all these years, the photograph recalls that serene moment — the living jewel suspended in liquid light, timeless and tranquil.
