The Rectory in Norcross

Florida Beach

Before us humans “cleaned up” the beaches, they were a tangle of driftwood and growth. A few places are allowed to maintain the native look.

Creepy Florida

With some artistic liberties I tried to bring out the unease and eeriness of the coastal jungle.

Addendum – 15 June 2014

Every so often it happens: I make a mistake. This image is clearly not “cafe art”, indeed, when you click on it you are taken to my Gallery 2014 album. This album is the repository for the Gallery Ludwig blog. I use Live Writer to format my blog posts. This is a most versatile tool. It allows managing a number of blogs. This blog and Gallery Ludwig use the same theme. Although the backgrounds are different, I did not pay much attention when I prepared this post and I sent it to the wrong blog. So consider it a bonus!

Disturbance

Disturbance in the Force Field

No, not a fancy science fiction image. This really is just what the title says. The field that was disturbed is the surface of the water in a small creek. It is a water strider, a small insect, that provides the disturbance. The tiny creature is covered, especially on its legs, with tiny hairs. These, like wax, are not wetted by water. The water’s surface tension provides the insect a resilient surface on which to propel itself with rowing motions of its forward legs. Little ripples form around the tiny creature as it moves about. It is those ripples that are imaged in the original photo that is the basis of this café art manipulation.
