Pulsing Xenia to be exact. When the water is still, you can see the flower heads pulse and contract as they filter the water in search of nutrients. Very cool to watch, but they are considered a pest in reef tanks.
I'd forgotten to pack any Kodak BW400CN film, so I coverted this shot to Black and White in PhotoShop. Taken pretty much after all the fog was gone.
The fog was so thick that I missed this when I first walked around the bend. It loomed up at me out of the fog and stopped me dead in my tracks. The picture simply cannot convey the sheer size of this radiotelescope. It simple boggles the mind.
Behind me, and to the right were a row of trees which blocked the sun until it was high in the sky (wel, high for 10am) then at which point it blew away the fog. Here you can see the effect.
An exception to the 17-35mm lens, here I used a 70-210mm, and waited just a bit until the fog had lifted, so I could get the 2nd 'scope in the shot.
Here is another angle of the main scope, just after dawn, as the heavy fog was still holding dominance over the land.
Not the main scope, but one off in the distance. I was very lucky, there was heavy fog surrounding the whole area, lending atmosphere and a sense of isolation to my work.
