The Doc was looking for an iconic night-time shot in the Kimberley. The Milky Way coming out of a boab fitted the bill. The Doc was talking to another photographer and he had the same idea on the same day – great minds think alike ;). The Doc was able to tell him where we could isolate the boab and get the Milky Way, on the track to Cadjeput Hole.
The photo came out rather nicely. Remember to click on the photo to see full size, the thumbnail is a poor imitation.
Something a bite different a very rare type of algal bloom. Most algal blooms are just green, this one ranges from green through brown to white and many shades in between.
In this coastal wetland an area was not subject to normal tidal movement. However, during a king tide this area filled with water, an algal bloom resulted and as the water evaporated the sun would begin to dry out the bloom from green through brown to white. The white occurs after the bloom completely bleached by the sun.
This shot shows all 3 major colours, taken from above. Nature can create some amazing colours and textures even from a humble algal bloom. Click on photo to see full size.
