About as far away from my normal subject as can be, but I have had some fun shooting the bacterial mats in the hot-water runoff around the geysers and hot springs in Yellowstone on a few trips.

Canon 20D, 17-40L @ 40mm, ISO 200, 1/320, f/13.

Terry,
very fine texture and colors. The larger version shows this abstract very well. I like it.

Quite an ooey-gooey look, Terry! Great candidate for a science fiction film. I like how the texture changes from the upper rh corner to the lower lh corner. Also, the shades of brown combined with the reflections and contours of the surface make for a very interesting look. :toast:

That's very interesting Tracy. I like the way you broke the color pattern up off center.
