A tropical reef in the subArctic ??
Well, Not exactly ... Actually an algae filled pond amid the miles of gravel tailing piles near Dawson City, Yukon, which were left behind by gold dredges following the tumultous Klondike gold rush of 1898.
Scenes like this speak to me of the fecundity and adaptive tenacity of life on Earth... Soon, these ponds will be thickly frozen over for 7 or 8 months, but all this life will survive to bloom again next season. August 18.

27 Aug 2007. Helsinki, Finland. Greenpeace activists confront delegates of the ongoing Helsinki Commission meeting with algae and dead cod. 25 % of the Baltic Sea bottom area is already dead due to eutrophication and the cod stocks are threatened by overfishing. Greenpeace demands rapid action to combat the ocean crisis. The algae was collected in Helsinki the day before.

iam cleaning out the pool which means draining it....we let it go in the last few weeks. Chemicals are expensive and this brown algae has us perplexed. Anyone know what can kill brown algae in a pool and keep it dead?
Design Principle: The emphasis is the white water in motion that is created as the water runs the green covered algae wall. Rule of thirds placement of the rock pile. Rhythm and movement created from the different shades of green algae on locks/damn.
Camera Settings: Sony DSC-H5
Aperture, f/8
Shutter Speed,1/3 sec.
ISO-80
Intended Narrative: When I read the section about shutter speed, creating motion using shutter speed, I knew that I would capture a picture of water. I have always found the velvety white appearance that is created with a slow shutter speed. I never knew how to achieve this. I really like the green algae slime creates lines and movement on its own. Then pooling at the bottom the water creates motion and a contrast to the brown and green earth tones.
Editing: I cropped image to have the rock pile in the lower left third of the picture.
