The July edition of free wallpapers from National Geographic offer yet another stunning visible display that overwhelms the senses and renders me in awe of our natural wonder. About the picture:

Cool! That anemone pic was taken by Brian Skerry. He's an overseer at the Aquarium and we get to see a ton of his stuff. I put a couple of his pics up on the site here to promote his latest photo exhibition.
He's seen some amazing underwater behavior. He's been charged by a whale!
How strange and gorgeous!
