This image of trout is from a visit earlier this week to the state fish hatchery in Burlington CT. The hatchery has been in operation for 101 years, relying on artesian wells and springs for water. The fish are released into rivers in the western half of the state with the Farmington being the principle recipient. Fishing is mostly catch-and-release.
Photographing schools of young fish in their pools was thrilling; their collective movements and the subtle changes in light providing a steady stream of ideas.

What an interesting shot, John. Mesmerizing pattern.
Thanks Jane- appreciate the comment 👍🏼 🙏
I just watched a short video by a friend of a pod of Humpbacks swimming in a line, their misty blows forming a similar mesmerizing, constant, but ever-shifting demonstration of life. Who would have guessed that a fish hatchery would be such a great place to make photographs?
Interesting! From whales down to insects similar mesmerizing demonstrations can be observed by anyone paying attention. To me, this stuff has a way of re-wiring our perspective and bringing the big picture back into focus
That’s an intriguing notion. It’s easy enough to see that it’s relaxing (another similar phenomenon I love is watching reflections of rippling water on the undersides of trees) but you’re talking about more than that. I have to give that some thought…
Wow. What a great shot. Beautiful.
thank you
