The Magic of Window Ferns
Such a nice surprise this morning on the windscreen of my car! When it is cold, water vapour condenses and freezes onto cold glass in complex fractal patterns resembling ferns, flowers or trees. Ice nucleates onto a window in different ways depending on how smooth the glass is.

The Foam of the Dutch Sea
The phagocytic is a type of algae with a strong ability to form floating colonies, held together by a mucous-like matrix that protects the cells and allows them to rapidly increase in size. With sunlight and nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphate, its cells grow rapidly. However, cloudy weather can trigger the disintegration of the algae colony…

The Kite and the Sea Monster

Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse
I have been always fascinated by lighthouses, as probably most of the people are. It is comforting to know that in the middle of the storm you might find a light to give you the right direction, to guide you to the safe harbour. I have been lucky enough to meet several lighthouses in my…

Blades and Landscape
A picture shows something most of the times, if not always, even when we push minimalism to its extreme. For instance, if we take a picture of a white paper or a room in total darkness, the photo will respectively show a white or black area, which is something anyhow. Getting closer to the other…
