Near Portland Headlight and high above low tide another ecosystem. This algae has taken up residence in a deep hole. It was strangely appealing. Although looking very slimy, I wanted to sit in it. ;-p
Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in the heart of the Alps. Composition with turned around sky during a winter sunset. ISO 250, 1/60, tripode
I'm assuming this s a microscopic alga but I haven't yet found a picture of anything looking like it so any help is welcome...
No, it's not an ocean scene painted with water colors. It's algae growing on the creek with clouds reflected at the top.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - At the Downstream Recreation Area below the Fort Peck Dam, there was still a lot more fall foliage than I expected.
Shot somewhere on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula of Iceland with the Nikon Fm2N, outfitted with a Lensbaby Composer. Used expired (2007) Kodak EIR Color Infrared film. Shot through an orange color infrared filter. Cross processed in Unicolor C41 color negative chems.
Desert crust or biocrust is a diverse assemblage of algae, mosses, bacteria and lichens that form on the soil surface, diminishing erosion and retaining moisture. It takes many years to form, and is easily damaged by trampling or any sort of atv, dirt bike, etc.
For those comfortable in dry lands, a mature patch of desert crust is a welcome site of long term stability and lack of disturbance--wilderness on a tiny scale.

I bought a pet Marimo Ball Algae at the Night Market! It's supposed to bring me good luck. I think it's super cute.

This rock probably teems with activity when the Tide returns to protect it from the open air, which would be about an hour after this shot was taken.
Tripod mounted & polarised on Nolton Haven though I was genuinely concerned about getting cut off as I was way off in a corner of the beach to make sure I could capture the Sunset & couldn't clearly see an escape.
We're Here looking out for green today & I found this!
Microorganisms such as algae are among the world’s smallest chemical factories. They produce metabolites, which are valuable raw materials for the chemical industry. BASF already uses the algae Dunaliella salina in Australia to produce β-carotene for food additives. In the field of white biotechnology, researchers are cultivating other kinds of algae that can be used in the future to produce raw materials for cosmetic products or dietary supplements, for example. One current research focus is blue-green algae of the genus Synechocystis (shown here). These blue-green algae are very frugal: they grow at room temperature and only need a water-based culture medium with minerals and trace elements as well as carbon dioxide and light for photosynthesis. Researchers obtain the metabolites by removing the algae from the culture medium and disruption of the cell walls. Given that there are more than 30,000 known types of microalgae, it is important to identify the right candidates and optimize their growing conditions. When blue-green algae work for white biotechnology, it’s because at BASF, we create chemistry.
