Water Spirits

[ZenDruid]

Foam on water surface, Saranac River, NY, ca.2000. Shot from a bridge looking straight down at the foam drifting by. Digital, Canon PowerShot A630. C&C welcome.

It's only a drifting foam but it took interesting form. After longer and accurate look you can see the shapes of the water spirits.

These are wonderful photos.

Thanks Sylwia and Hermes. Yes there are eyes, noses and mouths in there. Like looking at clouds.

 

[Artyczar]

Wow! Amazingly beautiful! I love these.

Terrific photos - when I first looked I thought they were black and white paint pours

 

[ZenDruid]

Laf.art, I saw the same thing but I took these before I knew what paint pours were.

 

[Terri]

Beautiful swirling shapes and tones. Love these!

 

[Queen Bee]

Nice shots.

 

[ZenDruid]

Thanks Queen Bee, Terri, Laf, Arty, Hermes, Sylwia! This is one of those found opportunities a photographer stumbles across occasionally, if lucky, and lucky twice if she/he remembers to have a camera along. Cheers!

It is interesting that such methods are/were used in research laboratories to take info on the flow in water streams. Nowadays they try to use digital simulation that is faster and less costly than the physical models, nevertheless the physical models can give a better idea of the physical reality.


By the way, not sure if that foam is "innocent" for the river's life

Thanks classic, good points. This is the Saranac River, it originates at Saranac Lake. It is a well known trout-fishing stream. There are no industries along its route to Lake Champlain, just a few small villages. There are white water stretches and a couple of small dam spillways, that might account for the foam.
