I'm glad Elson wrote about the bubble photo. To me the photo was
reminiscent of cloud chamber photographs showing tracks of subatomic
particles. I'm "almost sure" that the few nonrandom tracks in Elson's
photo were caused either by an ionizing particle (not very probable)
or an insect or other life form moving along the bottom (more likely)
acting as an attracting surface allowing groups of air molecules to
form bubbles (in the way that particles of dust can condense tiny
droplets of water into rain drops).
This prompts me to submit to next week's gallery a photo I took last
year, showing strange groupings of ice crystals on the surface of a
water filled basin in winter. (Coming to you next week. . . don't
miss it ;) )

Thanks for the comment, Trevor. They are tiny bubbles formed on the
bottom of a black, plastic basin filled with water. They appeared
after the basin was placed under the sun for about two hours. In
previous days, the bubble arrangement was random. Then, I don't
know, but one day some bubbles organized themselves into linear
formation.

I'm left wondering what this is more than appreciating the image. I
see sand and what I think are the eggs of some marine species. Nice
arrangement, makes me think of crop circles or Inca land sculpture.
