Underwater swimmer Hannah Fraser has been fascinated with mermaids since she was three years old.
Hannah, 36, an Australian who now lives in LA, made her first mermaid tail at the age of nine, after seeing the film Splash with Daryl Hannah.
Now she works as a model, actress and performer, swimming with whales, dolphins, stingrays and even sharks.
Where do you put the bait out to catch a fish like that?
ReplyDeleteDont know Paul, Glenn still hasn't caught one
ReplyDeletething is that mermaids tend to lead you onto the rocks...
ReplyDeleteyou read that in the Odessy??
ReplyDeletei thought it was common legend.
ReplyDeleteyep... after everyone read The Odessy
ReplyDeleteNEWS FLASH..
ReplyDeleteI got that so totally wrong... they were not mermaids at all
Appearance of the Sirens
The Sirens were special Sea Nymphs who were living in an isolated island, the island of the Faiakes. They had the body of a bird, but their head was human-like.
What made the Sirens extraordinary?
The Sirens had the gift of singing in a very seductive manner. Each sailor who was passing by this island got enchanted by their voice and was condemned to stay in their island forever and die. All over the island of the Faiakes there were bones of sailors who weren’t able to resist the Sirens' divine melody.
no. those are sirens.

He actually did catch one, but threw her back! He's a smart man and didn't want to risk pissing you off!
ReplyDeleteHi Dave(id).. thanks for the video.. the song was very catchy, and toe tapping and the scenary was gorgeous with the water, clouds and some of the sights.. there is a River Cruise in Europe somewehre that my Mother would love to go on .. at the moment they are advertising free air fares connected to the cruise .. no chance of Mum actually going though.
ReplyDeleteI read your sea poem earlier today.. yep that was well put together also
regarding pictures .. feel free to?? add some from my seaside town.. ?? or explain to you how to do add the scripting? If its the latter.. grab me when you see me signed into messenger one day and we can go through those instructions step by step using voice.. it will be much easier.
Manfred.. I am guessing that the image has been manipulated
