Thanks. The orange is exactly the same color as the iron-bacteria flocs I see at the river because they are both iron oxide. I have no idea what makes the blue in this photograph. I’m 99 percent certain it isn’t the interference color of a thin film (as is the blue in a biofilm of Leptothrix discophora, and it doesn’t look as green as copper oxide. Whatever it is, I’m glad I got to see it.

A beautiful image – and it’s interesting to read the comment & your response above. Not just the colors, but also the repeated arcs in this photo are so nice –

Thank you, Lynn. A friend says it feels Egyptian. It does recall ancient Egyptian necklaces, I think.
