One more masterpiece of nature! LIKE!

I wonder if there is a book with all these photos, containing the scientific names of the species. If so, please let me know by e-mail (drosoulap@gmail.com)

Thank you very much!

Drosoula said:

I LIKE it! Very interesting the comments in the title for all the shots!

There is a vast number of photos by 'Corals of the World' that are scattered all over the New Guinea map. They are great photos, but they are not placed at their correct geographical position and they are interfering with photos that show geographical features and places. This is mis-use of Google Earth and Panoromio. I think all these photos must be removed and instead be presented on appropriate websites.
