The black palette
The fourth in the subtractive colour system. Black (and white) can be strong, subtle, or neutral.
This collection of photos is here to render tribute to the colour without colour.
Equipment: OCA dataphysics. Oil: Fluorinert™ FC-40
Water and oil
After a water-oil surface tension measurement, I decided to play around. The result: a traffic jam of water droplets in oil.
Science is fun and beautiful.

Devetashka cave
Walking around this cave I could not help but think of the many years that passed when this used to be called ‘home’ by someone.
The cave is in Lovech, in the north centre of Bulgaria.
Wall of gratitude
This wall holds numerous plaques gifted by the people of Popayán to the Bethlehem Chapel (Capilla de Belén).
The plaques express the gratitude of the people towards the patron saint of the city, Saint Ecce Homo.

¿Para qué me sirve mi cuerpo?
Con el cerebro inventar, la mano escribir, la boca cantar

¿Para qué me sirve
Si no pa' quererlo?
Die Christuskirche von Mainz
A glimpse through the courtyard to the Christ Church in Mainz.
This church was badly damaged in 1945 and its reconstruction started in 1952. Nowadays, it stands proud overlooking the Hans-Klenk fountain on one side, and the Kaiserstraße on the other.

Bead in a shallow pool
When one places a solid intruder in a liquid pool, the liquid creeps up the intruder creating a liquid meniscus. The profile of this meniscus depends on the curvature of the interface, gravity, and surface tension.
This picture shows the meniscus created when dipping a glass sphere in a shallow pool of Silicone oil.
Four degree tilt, six degree separation
I can still see it, grasping the sky on a late-summer day.
Crowds bustle around it, people take comic photos competing for the most original way to show it… everyone notices the obvious; the angle at which it stands. Do they notice the details? The flower pendants, the strained-faced animals on the columns?
Places like this remind me once and again that there is more than meets the eye.
