Flower Mound TX. I am no biologist but this is my guess. This bark was under 3" wide so the filaments are quit thin. The filaments originated from underground. I had to break them to turn the bark completely over. The darker areas were decomposing filaments.
Inspired by (aka blatently copied from!) this shot I saw in explore. www.flickr.com/photos/kistomi/3197472752/ It is infinitely better lit than mine, but I think it came out not too bad :)
this was really hard work! took about 60 shots and 10 bulbs till the shot was ok! just the bulb glas is a bit dark....really sad about that but i have a few bulbs left and will try again when there is time - nobody is pefect! im learning every day more and more...really cool and so much fun! :)
A very long solar filament that had been snaking around the Sun erupted today (Dec. 6, 2010) with a flourish. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) caught the action in dramatic detail in extreme ultraviolet light of Helium. It had been almost a million km long ((about half a solar radius) and a prominent feature on the Sun visible over two weeks ago before it rotated out of view. Filaments are elongated clouds of cooler gases suspended above the Sun by magnetic forces. They are rather unstable and often break away from the Sun. Note: the edge of the moon can be glimpsed at 0300 UT during a brief lunar transit.
Close up on prominence at 3 meter of focal with a Daystar filter.

We took our popular LED filaments and put them inside LEGO lightsaber hilts. They're the brightest in the galaxy!
