A layer of green algae on a bucket near my newly cleared patch of garden.
It is one cell thick and therefore seems to behave like finest chiffon. I took pics very late afternoon.
No postwork, it didn't need any.
Photo taken at Hoi Ha Wan Beach.

The algae bloom extended a ways out. One wonders if the propeller of this man's boat was choked, clogged some way...
It's not actually named algae lake, but that would be a good descriptive name. Sophie called the algae "sea-weed," and was very interested in the feel of walking on dried sea-weed on the shore.
Another view of the blanketweed algae in the pond that I photographed yesterday. Geoff surveys the greenyness. Note the flood from the pond on the path beyond. Today is so flat and grey it's a lot less vivid and green.
Bloomed in backyard pond. Apparently the same unicellular green algae that causes "watermelon snow" in warming icefields. "This genus occurs in both marine and freshwater situations and in polar regions forms red or green snow. The colonial mass is an amorphous mucilage, usually macroscopic."

Will algae farms be the farms of the future? Can washed-up jellyfish be repurposed to make a durable material? Are algae the solution for clean energy harvesting? Through performance and talks, we explored aquatic life in the framework of harvesting. Sound and visual artist Sabina Ahn, designer Charlotte van Alem and researcher Dr. Ben van den Broek contemplated these questions and more.
