Swaying Sea Pen Colony in Marseille Autumn Current

by Damon Roman

Pale orange sea pens rise vertically from the sandy seabed, their feathery polyps extending into the murky water. Flat noon light filters down from the surface, illuminating the colony while the background dissolves into a soft plankton haze. The water column carries a gentle current that bends the flexible stems in unison. Tiny suspended particles drift lazily through the beam of light, catching the reflection from above. The sandy bottom stretches out beneath the colony, scattered with small pebbles and organic debris. Each sea pen stands distinct against the hazy blue-green backdrop, their tips swaying in a synchronized rhythm. One polyp tip catches a glint of reflected sunlight against the dark sand.
