Swiss Carp - Masters of the Oxbow Lake Dance!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Michel Roggo, we are transported to the enchanting oxbow lake of the Aare River in Switzerland. Here, a group of lively and colorful carp (Cyprinus carpio) take center stage, showcasing their incredible underwater ballet. With their vibrant green scales shimmering under the flowing water, these ray-finned fish effortlessly glide through a sea of algae. Their graceful movements and synchronized patterns make it seem as though they are performing an intricate dance routine for our entertainment. These common carp, also known as Cyprinus vulgaris or variegated carp, are not your average swimmers. They belong to the cyprinid family and have become endangered due to habitat loss and other threats. However, in this serene Swiss setting, they find refuge in this picturesque oxbow lake. As we gaze at this mesmerizing scene captured by Roggo's lens, we can't help but be enchanted by these magnificent creatures. Their presence reminds us of nature's delicate balance and the importance of preserving such unique species. So let's raise a fin to these talented dancers! May their elegant moves continue to grace our waters with beauty and remind us that even beneath the surface lies a world full of wonder waiting to be explored.
