Spirit: Interaction with the Higher Self

This coastal photograph was taken at Shark Bay, Western Australia. The bay is protected by UNESCO for its unique flora and fauna. Shark Bay has the largest known area of seaweed, as it covers more than 4000 km² of the bottom of the bay. Algae is the main food of the rare marine mammal dugans (“sea cows”), who live here in the world's largest colony of 10,000. This expanse is also the world's largest location of 975 - carbonate formations formed by cyanobacterial mats, the simplest and most ancient bacteria. They are almost never found on the planet. The oldest fossil stromatolites are about 3.7 billion years old. It is not a bad place to get in touch with your higher self!
