Some kind of bacteria or algae in this little puddle of snow melt water, creating a beautiful red color. I think it's pretty unusual, and I always enjoy all the wonderful colors nature throws at us.
Location: Garibaldi Provincial Park, Beautiful British Columbia, Canada. Equipment: Nikon D90 + Tokina 11-16mm + Tiffen Polarizer. Processing: Photomatix Pro 4.1 and Photoshop CS5 from 3 RAW exposures. Follow me on Facebook:WestCoastScapes
I love the lighting, it brings out the iron rust color in the mud hole nice shot (along with all of your others, keep it up I really enjoy seeing them )
At first I thought this was taken in PEI because our soil is naturally red.. That whole bacteria thing is pretty neat though!! Mother Nature never fails to amaze: )
