The moss and algs assimilate carbondioxyde out of the karst water of a source and calc is precipitated. The moss and the algs begin to be encrusted, calc tuff is formed....
Das Moos und die Algen entziehen dem Karstwasser der Quelle Kohlenstoff(IV)oxid, sodass Kalk ausfällt, der langsam das Moos und die Algen inkrustiert, es enteteht Quelltuff...
again.. dont know whether the growth on the trunk of tree is called algae.. in tamil its called "paasam".. that gives us a sense of scarcity of rain that region :) kidding..
Bleached (dead) coralline algae (Corallina officinalis) and encrusting algae (Lithothamnia) on a pebble
In contrast to the bone-dry Chesbro reservoir, the Calero Reservoir had what seemed to be plenty of water. There were a lot of people out on boats and jet skis around the water (including the ranger boat, which was rounding people up half an hour before sunset). Apparently the Calero is just over 50% full, while the Chesbro was about 5% full.
I wonder if the differences are natural or part of the reservoir management. (Apparently the reservoirs are part of different watersheds.)
As for the algae... I wonder if this is why our Brita pitcher grows a green slime on the bottom after being left on the counter for a few days.

Red and brown algae mats formed in the run-off from one of the many geysers. The silica-based soil (see left of photo) is harsh and holds little water.
Just what it says on the tin...couldn't resist this. The running water was making the alge look waxy and fluid - fabulous!

I just bought a Flickr Pro account! Day one-oh-three will be the first where I haven't consciously had to resize my photos in order to preserve my monthly upload limit.
I hope I can just live up to my new account title and use this year for the best, mm? :)
Cheers to a "new" year!

The title of this refers to the fact that this specific patch of our front porch is turning green from algae growth due to rainfall...but of course, a black-white photo can't do that justice. Will have to retake in color sometime :).
