This Red Algae was found growing on a few trees at the Rising Sun Country Park in Northumberland, Red Algae come from a group called Trentepohlia the red pigment is a carotenoid the same thing that makes carrots orange.

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 Olifants river is fishless, and although it's one of the biggest (and most consistently watery) rivers in the Kruger, not many species come here to drink. What's caused the damage? Hippos. Specifically, hippo poop, which creates algae, which kills fish.

I am mesmorized by the textures.

Mori Junuchi's madonna/virgin sculpture at the armory was constructed of a type of sea algae.
