Hi everybody,
My name is Dana Pommet and my wife’s name is Josephine. I was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, in 1942, and except for a tour in the Navy, lived there for most of my life. I retired to Delray Beach, Florida in December 2000. We love to travel and photography goes hand and hand with that. I went digital about 5 years ago and started posting November 22, 2008. I have met so many wonderful people on RR and that makes this whole process so much more interesting than just posting photos. Thanks for all the comments and keep them coming.
Update  January 2012: After hiding and denying my mild Dyslexia, for most of my professional life, and now fighting with its advancement – I want to thank you all for putting up with my poor typing skills and spelling problems. I know that my spell checker hates me and I now depend completely on audio books rather then actually reading printed books.  Life marches on!  Â

Sharks are presently a real problem here in OZ, - I should rephrase that, they are always problems - especially for our surfing community ;( and as we are totally surrounded by water on this big island, it's no wonder ... many kids and adults are taking risks, surfing or swimming where there are signs, saying that you shouldn't ... or where there are no beach patrolling lifesavers ! DOH !!! but this one looks pretty harmless and very friendly to me Dana, ... and waving - not drowning !!! LOL BB *** me packed ??? I am sure you are kidding me - I have plenty of time indeed ... (sorry, about my recent 'absenteeism' - I am just so busy, with my upcoming trip ... (July/August) so many things are not falling into place immediately as they should, you have no idea how time-consuming and ridiculous the 'RED TAPE' is, just for getting a passport !!! and that is only the start of many little niggly things, presently!)

It's just my 2 cents worth, but I have been surfing Oz for close on 40 years, and I have NEVER had a problem with sharks. I've seen one or two in my time, but they did NOTHING to me! Yes a rare attack has happened once in a while, but it's like the risk of getting struck by lighting when you compare it to the risk of driving a car. Thousands die on our roads and people are still sooooo blasé about it all. But if someone sees a shark.............OMG!!!!!!! Over 70 million sharks are slaughtered barbarically each and every year for Shark Fin soup........................BB, once you leave all the red tape will be forgotten. LOL Good luck!

An image with very interesting contrasts. The sky in the background gives this beast a menacing feeling of size, but at the same time his cartoony grin makes him a figure of fun. Whoever made this sculpture certainly has a devilish sense of humor. :D

Nice capture - I didn’t recognize it as a shark at first but it is a good caricature and I like the use of sand for the texture material!

Gosh! A rather intimidating criminal sort of figure!

I am not sure what the base material of the shark was made of but I thought that it was only coated with sand.
