It's been a while...

Here's a scene noticed, unexpectedly, as I walked around one of the local lakes. This was taken shortly after the huge flood wiped clean the banks of many major rivers along the front range in Colorado in later 2013. The high water levels effected many local natural areas, this lake being one of them. A strong stench hung around this area, with dead fish littering the banks. As I walked the perimeter, I saw a small area of the water surface was coated in some sort of oil, or something, creating many designs of white strands for decoration. Sad, but sort of pretty, but definitely interesting...

The shadows running diagonally across the image are from nearby plants lining the lakes edge. IMO, they add some interest to the scene, so I didn't bother doing anything with them, but I'm guessing some of you may find them distracting? Interested to hear your thoughts, as always.
