The images that you see before you appear to be different things to different people. Because of my obsession with the National Geographic and the Discovery Channel, to me, the images below appear to be some newly discovered creatures from the deep sea or images released by NASA of newly discovered galaxies.
These stunning images are taken by British photographer, Mark Mawson, who has been taking pictures for over 22 years and specializing in shooting under water scenes. For his Aqueous Series, he takes several drops of colored paint and drops it into a tank of water. As gravity goes to work, so does Mark Mawson. He uses a strobe light to light up the scene and captures the scene as the paint disperses. The results are very cool. If any of you have any interest in photography, this might be a good project to try to duplicate as a challenge to yourself.
Have a look at the images below and make sure you check out the work of Mark Mawson.

very cool
almost the same process we use to use to make marbelized tee-shirts.
How can I do this – what kind of paint is – this is so awesome! Heather
