Laguna Beach, CA – On a Shoestring

WW – A Narrow Path to Safety

More stressful were the moments we had to find a way to the beach or to open water through a maze of shallow coral heads in our dinghy (or our “big” boat).  These are photos of enjoyable coral encounters… Tunnels are also relatively narrow.

Have you had narrow escapes? Do you know narrow-minded people? What narrow objects have you photographed in the past? What comes to mind when you think about “narrow”?
