As you can see, I survived the dreaded hurricane unscathed. In fact, I managed to sleep through most of it as it didn't amount to much more than an abundance of rain and wind. Fortunately, we don't live in a flood-prone area so no harm was done.
Part of my pre-hurricane preparations involved bringing in everything from outside the house that wasn't nailed down, including a mat outside our back door. This morning I noticed that some algae had grown in the areas not covered by the mat. Before I cleaned it up I figured it would make for a neat shot for the day.
Are those line curve things shadows? I am thinking how they are shown in the floor? :) Nice B&W... the lines of the wood and the curves show great art and consideration of the shot. :)
I have a pattern on my front porch too from the mold of living in WA... So glad you made it through the storm safely... Take care though.. still stormy Im sure...
@yotan18 The darker lines are where the mat used to be. It's got a swirling pattern to it with holes cut out in the design. The lighter spots are actually green algae that grew in those holes. The green turned white when I changed it to black and white.
@nikkers The wind is still blowing like crazy and there's a lot of flooding out there, so I have no plans to leave the house today. Heck, if it were a legitimate enough excuse to get me out of work tomorrow I'd stay home then too. Alas, I doubt my boss would approve.
Oh I see... makes sense, and now I'm curious about the colored one... :D But I bet it wasn't pleasing when you cleaned it!!! :D Well, at least you got a shot out of it. Also, great that you weren't that affected by the hurricane. :)
@sourkraut , but didnt you go out during the storm and get a bump on the head and now have a slight concussion??? poor you ,, I think as your doctor(wink wink) you should take the next day or two off work..
@sourkraut Wow! :) Yep, the original one is quite intersting, but the extra drama effect of the b&w gives it an extra kick. As you noted, my first thought was that the curls were shadows... :D Very nice eye you have when you converted dirt into art. :D

I liked the green color but felt that the design showed up better in b&w.
