Candy striped oil bubbles
Some olive oil floating on water in a glass dish on top of striped wrapping paper. I was hoping to get some iridescence to photograph, but no luck. So I had to content myself with bubbles instead! In this one, I liked the way the stripes are distorted in the large bubble and repeated in the smaller ones. Looks like a host of hot air balloons! I struggled with deciding whether to put up this one or one cropped tighter on the bubbles. I finally decided on this one because it shows the edges of the larger oil droplets on the right, with tiny air bubbles trapped inside. The tighter crop can be seen on my photostream, or try zooming in on the bubbles.
