Вашингтон-на-Бразосе - Стэндон, штат Техас, 29-30 августа 2024 года. В этом фотоальбоме представлена коллекция изображений, сделанных в местечке Вашингтон-на-Бразосе и парке Лик-Крик в штате Техас в течение двух дней в августе 2024 года. На фотографиях показаны различные виды растений, включая цветы, лишайники, грибы и травы, при разных условиях освещения: естественного дневного света и ультрафиолетового (UV-A) черного света. УФ-А освещение обнаруживает уникальные флуоресцентные свойства этих организмов, часто приводя к ярким цветам и узорам, невидимым невооруженным глазом при естественном свете. Альбом освещает увлекательный мир биолюминесценции и флуоресценции в природе, демонстрируя, как различные условия освещения могут радикально менять наше восприятие даже обыденных объектов, делая их невероятными и похожими на другие миры.
