#16 - Pictures of Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef (6/7/11)

Ah, the joys of procrastinating. I should be studying. I should be cleaning up and beginning the process of packing. Instead, I think I'll post some pictures. Who doesn't love pictures? As I mentioned in my last post, my pictures of the reef don't really do it justice. However, that will all be rectified in a few weeks when I get that video. But in the meantime, here are a few shots:

The Reef! Can you tell?

Big fish

It's actually that color

There, you can actually see it

Even better
