   Crichton? Look out! That’s no ocean! The Grey Goos coming right for ya!

   (Those little guys will take mountains and grind them to dust! I’ve seen it!)

   So beautiful!!!

   I much prefer the dolphins and suds theory.

   I am so glad that this is what you had to photograph and show us. I wish I had been there.

   I made a breakfast on snow (see photo). Snow is a bit like the foam here.

   Seen on your photo stream. (?)

   I didn’t really want to think about how notoriously randy dolphins are filling the sea with goo.

   heh… it’s party time…

   

   Certassar: Yes! For a macro shot of this scale, you can’t use lenses, mirrors, or even e-beams. I tried all those, but just got an atomistic fabric…

   

   For the foam, you really have to fold space.
