One of the old abanoned buildings along the North East side of Alcatraz Island. So tempted to get inside but, ya. The green is algae I believe. This building is very close to the water line. This shot is another example of my horrible laziness with my new SLR. The ISO wasnt high enough so the details are not as sharp as they should be. I have much to learn.
A filamentous alga. Cells and chloroplasts are clearly visible inside the cell walls. Photomicrograph taken with a Coolpix 885 at 3x zoom, using an Olympus microscope equipped with Hoffman Modulation Contrast optics, oil immersion at 1,000x magnification. Algae are Eukaryotes and probably first appeared in the order of 1.5-billion years ago.
Not actually algae, since prokaryotic. Evidently blown to shore by SW breeze. N end dam, Willett Pond, Norwood, MA 9/19/13
It was the second day of hiking the Andes near Huarez, this time towards Laguna Churup at 5240m. After the steep ascend from somewhere in the lower 4000s I ascended a waterfall to see the incredible crystal clear water from Mt.Churup directly above. After looking high at the massive Churup in front of me amazed at its immensity, I took a look down and saw through the clear water this blooming algae.
Algae is growing on the surface where the ice has melted from warmer runoff water running into the lake.
This is from the end of the waterline in the previous image. These kinds of abstracts are not everyone's cup of tea (Don't drink! :)) but I always enjoy finding beauty in Mother Nature's leftovers. And yes, the colors were this bright. The one green almost looks like copper patina, the other-a witch's pea soup!
This is the Algae Blenny hanging out in the Snake Polyps. Tragically, he just died recently. I loved his "eyebrows".
First attempt with Lumix GF1 camera attached to Zeiss intermediate photo tube. 40x Zeiss Plan Achromat lens, modified brightfield setup. Stack of 6 photos. Diatoma vulgaris or Diatoma hiemale?
Growing Algae to feed the brime shrimp, who in turn feed the lobsters...the lobsters are grown in the lab and put into the ocean. Local repopulation efforts
The lake is quickly being covered with algae which is providing convenient islands for the flies to rest.
