one of the private beach on Sperlonga south beach which seamed to be the "posh" part.
Have a look at the large version to see all the details under the umbrellas which give life to these pattern.

iPhone 6+ photo I took late today of something ordinary and familiar, made strange with PhotoWizard (and Procreate) on an iPad Air. The pattern of shapes is much like the orginal photo that, however, had no such surreal colors. So if you ignore the colors you can probably guess what this is (or was).
If I had gone for shades of white maybe I could have called it "snow fences", which I remember from Wisconsin, where I grew up, which had a lot of snow in the 1950s, enough to support a few commercial ski slopes in southern Wisconsin. There was a ski lift (that might still exist) on Rib Mountain, close to Wausau in central Wisconsin when I went to college in Stevens Point, but by then the skiing businesses in southern Wisconsin had closed down, because there wasn't enough reliable snow any more. Maybe that was the beginning of warming climate in many (but not all) places around the world.
This blob-generator was an adult stocking stuffer given at Christmas in years past. Our grandkids are amused by it.
I decided to go down to Burnside to try to get some shots of the elephant sculpture. It's a bad area but no one bothered me because it was too cold! Then I messed around with some settings to get this shot. Braving the cold was worth it today!

When I photographed these attractive circular patterns I assumed they were a type of algae and, I suppose, in a way they are as I later discovered that they’re actually a species of crustose brown seaweed called Ralfsia verrucosa. Not surprisingly the patches start forming from the centre growing outwards in rings and, if they don’t become detached, can reach up to 100mm diameter if conditions are right. They can be found pretty much worldwide growing in intertidal rockpools, and in some countries are commonly known as ‘limpet paint’ due to a mutualistic relationship they have with that species. Here they’re in the company of periwinkles.
