DARK SHARKS | Light Rays
Photographer Karen Glaser - Dark Sharks and Light Rays are photographed in places that remind me of “Western Kansas”. Water still covers most of the planet: sharks and rays have been swimming on this Earth for eons. These creatures are closely related and prehistoric, so are the waters in which they swim.

The shark population is plummeting and rays are following suit. It is not inconceivable to think they might follow the dinosaur into extinction.
