Macro picture of a butterfish (Pholis gunnellus) at the coast in Northern Norway

Macro picture of a butterfish (Pholis gunnellus)
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera April 28th 2007. Click image for larger view.

In this picture you can see a small butterfish (Pholis gunnellus) that I found under a rock when the tide was out. It is about 20 cm long and got its name because it has very slippery skin.

When I was a kid I used to play at the coast all the time. One of my favorite activities was to look under rocks and seaweed when the tide was out. There was always something interesting to find, like a butterfish, a crab or some funky colored periwinkles. I still enjoy walking the coastline and I always bring the camera 🙂
Check out this photo of a hermit crab that I photographed on another trip at the coast.
