The substance on the trunks and branches of these trees is called "Trentepohlia". It is a genus of filamentous green chlorophyte algae that lives on tree trunks and wet logs. The strong brownish-orange color of the filaments, which mask the green of the chlorophyll, is caused by the presence of large quantities of carotenoid pigments. I found trees covered with this growth on the top of a high bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean near Half Moon Bay in northern California.
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
Jerilyn Timlin serves as a principal investigator for the Algal Predator and Pathogen Signature Verification project. The project looks at exploring and exploiting the various detailed optical signatures that arise when the algae cultivation pond surface is monitored using Sandia’s optical spectroradiometric techniques. These techniques can differentiate algae growth and state of health and provide an early warning of the active presence of predators and pathogens in outdoor algal ponds.
In 2009, Jerilyn was presented by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with a New Innovator Award to develop state-of-the-art imaging technology that can measure protein complex formation and protein networks.

Lithophyllum carpophylli - really needs a common name. This grows on other brown macro algae and unlike most coralline algae it creates beautiful 3d structures.
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.

The colors from the algae change with seasonal changes in temperature.

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.
I didn't quite capture the beauty in these little algae disks forming on the side of my empty aquarium... but I promise it was there :)
A new PNNL study shows that 17 percent of the United States’ imported oil for transportation could be replaced by biofuel made from algae grown in outdoor raceway ponds located in the Gulf Coast, the Southeastern Seaboard, and the Great Lakes. This June 2010 satellite photo shows raceway ponds in southern California.

This is a covered walkway that connects the bridge from the previous two photos with the main entrance of Bielefeld University, Germany. It's quite foggy so a lot of light is scattered before falling through the glass roofing from all angles. They have kind of an algae problem with this roof, also speaking to the quite humid climate Bielefeld is renowned for. Let's just hope the lunatics in the US Congress withstand reason long enough for things to just get a tiny bit more arid around here.
