The fire of the sun reflected in drops of water on a clematis seed which was lying on the earth after floating down through the air.
Better bigger
Split between Volumes 7 and 8 of Demon's Chronicle, the four classical elemental sprites are:
-Gnome, Elemental Sprite of Earth
-Sylph, Elemental Sprite of Air
-Salamander, Elemental Sprite of Fire
-Undine, Elemental Sprite of Water

In Australia where the light is so much brighter and the distinction between water and air is more defined, I have experimented with long exposures to capture the nexus between the elements of water and air. These long exposures blur the surface of the water and the clouds in the sky, and the motion of water and air forms a link between these two disparate elements. In Scotland, the flatter and more subdued light means that this distinction is not as apparent and I have been exploring images taken at a more conventional shutter speed and using light rather than motion to form the link.
Had an urge to break out my Xevoz again recently. I was quite into them several years ago. Gotta say, they're still quite fun to play with.
Not particularly inspired, but a fun combination non-the-less.
Some of the sturdiest of elemental creatures are Earth Elementals - massive brutes of stone and dirt. Despite their composition, they can easily change their form as if liquid, though they remain just as solid and powerful as before.
Cmdr. Dave Durkin, associate chair of the Chemistry Department, trains midshipmen to operate a scanning electron microscope during SC495/SC496, which is part of the chemistry major. Scanning electron microscopy is an analytical technique used in science and engineering research areas to evaluate the structure and morphology of materials. It can be used to measure a material’s elemental composition, probe grain boundaries and understand distribution of metals in alloys. The instrument uses an electron beam, rather than visible light, to image the surface. By scanning the beam across a sample and measuring secondary or backscattered electrons that emit, midshipmen can image samples down to the nanometer scale. In this case, midshipmen were imaging some 200 nanometer organic nanoparticles that were grown inside liposomes. As the undergraduate college of our country's naval service, the Naval Academy prepares young men and women to become professional officers of competence, character, and compassion in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.

Last night, I was sitting in our backyard with my wife, Veronica, as the sun was setting. The sky was painted delicate hues of pinks and blues. Then, there was an approaching sound of thunder in the distance and a chilly breeze that usually accompanies a powerful storm. The sky that was already beautiful, took on a bolder character of light and shadows and more dynamic colors. Within minutes, the sky was a deep, dark gray, and we had to head inside because the rains came. These are some pictures of the sky as the thunderstorm approached.
