The shadow of surface tension

An insect like a wasp or a water strider can rest atop the water, held up by surface tension. This means that the cohesive force of the water molecules sticking to each other is stronger than the force of the bug being pushed down by gravity. This works because it spreads its weight out over a large surface area (like snowshoes). That creates a slight indentation in the top of the water, changing the direction that the light coming down is refracted and re-directing it slightly sideways (that’s where the bright halos around the dark areas come from). And what’s the absence of light?

For Laura’s project, “A Trip Through My Eyes”

-“Part xix”- “Welcome to Hollywood, what’s your dream”

You just can’t come to L.A. and not visit Hollyweird.  It’s a mandatory stop for any visit.  Interestingly most movie studios and filming is not really in Hollywood, but that takes little away from it’s unusual charm.  Also interesting is how when you first move to L.A. and you walk or drive by a movie shoot it’s like seeing behind the Wizard’s curtain, so much magic. Later, it becomes, sadly, but an inconvenience. Regardless, it is a quintessential part of the L.A. experience and highly recommended… at least once. As our gracious host Laura would say… muchofuckalot of cool.

Always with gratitude for this project Laura,
