In the SF Botanical Gardens there's a pond with a thick bright lime surface that's thick as pudding with a few sticks poking through.
At Point Reyes National Seashore. Although it contains green chlorophyll, red pigments dominate and act as a sunscreen. Algae such as these need no soil.
Another from the archives that was waiting for attention. The early spring yellow algae? was attention getting.

Once the fall monsoons ramp up and scour the footprints of cows and Labor Day campers, I'll head back up to one of my favorite spots where every few years, the water levels in the lake are low enough to venture out onto the mud flats. I've only witnessed twice the algae that stretches between mud cracks, dried weeds, and rocks. It's space alien green and covers everything with a furry skin.
High up on an Exmoor hill the trees along this part of the road are covered in moss and algae. This could possibly from being in cloud much of the time
Momma makes sure her children eat their greens. The sound of baby coots is a real pacifier for me :)

In spring and summer, the ocean returns much of the sand that was washed away from beaches during winter storm surf, with results such as this.
This is one of the Red Algae.
This is a photo that I took while canoeing of some sinister looking algae growing on the bottom of the river, and the reflection of my hand holding the camera.

ODC-Bridge Over Troubled Waters
I used the photo below as my template to create this in DDG-Text-2. Green Water is troubled water and we have it here in the summer in Cayuga Lake. It's full of Algae Bloom and dangerous to swim in. It can cause some nasty skin rashes. Much of it occurs from the fertilizer that people put on their fields and lawns. It runs downhill into the lake since it's in a deep valley.

If you are interested in reading more about my recent trip to Croatia and the alps, there is a new article up on The Resonant Landscape today at

One of the main motivations for me to drop everything and run off to Europe in the middle of a busy Fall semester at the college was the opportunity to shoot Plitvice Lakes National Park in October. The vast majority of photos that have been taken from this remarkable park in Croatia have been taken during the Spring and Summer months when water levels are high and the turquoise lakes are surrounded by green on all sides. But in Autumn, the leaves around these incredible lakes turn bright red, orange and yellow making an incredible background for the dozens of waterfalls throughout the park that seemingly flow right out of the trees on their way through this incredible valley.
Even though my itinerary had me shooting in Germany, Austria, Slovenia and Italy, I purposely kept my schedule open hoping to shoot Plitvice on a cloudy, misty morning with little or no wind. Well... it turns out that the week I made my trip was probably one of the driest stretches of October on record. Even though rain had been forecast for Friday earlier in the week, by the time Friday actually rolled around, it was clear, cloudless, hazy, and windy. The irony here was that I had waited all week for conditions to improve and they were actually worse by the time I finally headed down.
Plitvice, by the way, is one of the oldest national parks in Southeast Europe and the largest national park in Croatia. The park is world-famous for its lakes arranged in cascades. Currently, 16 lakes can be seen from the surface. These lakes are a result of the confluence of several small rivers and subterranean karst rivers. The lakes are all interconnected and follow the water flow. They are separated by natural dams of travertine, which is deposited by the action of moss, algae, and bacteria. (wiki)
Helpful hint if you are planning a trip in the future: Croatia hasn't quite made it all the way into the European Union yet, so their currency is still the Kuna rather than the Euro. This probably wouldn't have been an issue if their computers were up and running, but they were not and I lost 30-40 minutes scrambling around trying to exchange my Euros for Kunas as suddenly everything was "cash only." The park didn't exchange Euros so I had to hike back to one of the local hotels.
Even though I had less than ideal conditions at times during my 9 days in Europe, I had an incredible time shooting mostly in the alps through 5 countries while I was there. Plitvice is definitely a spot that you need to save more than one day for, and I'm hoping to make a return visit in the not too distant future. What an amazing park!
