They're not very good pictures, but I loved the patterns that this created with lots of layers of algae in perfectly clear water
Tambaba Beach - Conde - PB - BRAZIL
Praia de Tambaba - Conde-PB - BRASIL
Tambaba is an official nudist beach in Brazil. In Tambaba you must be nude in the family area (the main part of the beach). Around the periphery of the beach, nudism is optional.
Tambaba é oficialmente uma praia de nusdimo no Brazil. Na área familiar (parte principal da praia) o nudismo é obrigatório, mas é opcional nas demais partes.

In he late spring, the stream has dried up and all that is left are algae filled pools. At first when we started the hike, it looked completely dry. That would have been disappointing because the description in Afoot and Afield indicated that there would be a pool with a waterfall along the hike.

Algae Bloom off the Coast of Estonia on July 16th, 2002. Cyanobacteria can be found in almost every terrestrial and aquatic habitat. With the appropriate conditions these can bloom and be seen from space as blue-green patches that swirl following surface currents. Lines cutting across the image are the traces of ships. Factors that lead to these blooms include low winds, increasing temperatures, and nutrients such as phosphorus (often byproducts of fertilizer runoff along the rivers). These blooms can be toxic and are often monitored from air and space.
Pebbles of various sizes line the bottom of thie shallow and beautiful section of the Bow River, with gently rippled water and golden morning sunlight creating a lovely abstract effect as they flowed over the rocks.
I thought this shot was particularly cool as a patch of algae had built up around one of the larger pebbles, providing wonderful contrast of both color and texture to the surrounding rocks and water!
I am growing algae. What I can't figure out is the perfectly straight line of demarkation between "algae" and "no algae" on the back of the tank. The algae just stops, six inches from the top. Not a gradual cessation, either. A perfectly straight and sudden boundary. I can't think of any explanation. If you have one, I'd love to hear it!
low water flow means plenty of food for sandpipers and willets....there were a bunch of the former and a few of the latter
Algae, possibly gloeocapsa, at 600x. Found in a sample from an artificial pond in the park near 1st Street and Chesterfield in North Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Ryan Davis and Sandia National Laboratories colleagues have developed a method to recycle critical and costly algae cultivation nutrients phosphate and nitrogen.

Researchers maintain single-species algal cultures under a biosafety hood, equipped with a sterilizing UV light and small gas burner
Toward Dunwich, there were several small pools that had formed a short distance from the beach.
There is lots of algae in these pools & the presence of it, makes for some very vivid colours.
Norris Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park is home to many interesting microorganisms which give the pools their colour. Prominant here is the Metallosphaera sp forming the orange colour in the spring and Cyanidioschyzon sp in the lower half of the image. The Metallosphaera is an Archaea and as such metabolizes metalic sulfur compounds. The Cyanidioschyzon is a red algae. Both are adapted to very high temperature and acidic environments.

This is a river.... looks good hey. Class 15F no 2914 crossing the Hex River at Rustenburg Plats during January 1994.

Lithophyllum carpophylli - really needs a common name. This grows on other brown macro algae and unlike most coralline algae it creates beautiful 3d structures.
This is just algae on the shore. They are not harmful. It's save to swim here.
I have just put more contrast to the image, nothing else.
Algae grows on various solid surface and they were found on top of the Zinc oxide surface

Rough bubble Algae
Dictyosphaeria cavernosa
(Forsskål) Børgesen, 1932
Description:
The plant forms a large, green, hollow, nearly spherical mass that may be lobed or may collapse or rupture but continues to grow; up to 10 cm in diameter. The wall is crisp, crunchy and show large, angular cells. Differentiated from smooth bubble algae because of the visibility of individual cells (1 mm in size) that make up the algae. They form convoluted, hollow colonies of a continuous layer of green cells.
Habitat:
It grows in most reef environments, attached to rocky substrates and areas of dead coral. On occasion it covers extensive areas, especially under high nutrient levels.
Distribution:
South Florida, Bahamas and Caribbean.

This red algae comes back in our bird-bath time after time. I have tried all sorts of ways over the years to stop it reappearing. None have worked
Deliberate deposit of calcareous algae at Ahu Heki'i 2, Rapa Nui. Calcareous algae forms under water. On Rapa Nui, it is frequently found in terrestrial contexts, which it could not have reached naturally. Since it has no known functional uses, it is assumed to have been imported into these locations deliberately for decorative and/or ritual reasons. Concentrations are often found at ahu, such as Ahu Heki'i 2 shown here.
