We’ve seen Rothkos on iPhones before, but how about some from the algae covered marshes of the south of France?

From above, Chesnel discovered, the seaside landscapes of southern France look like abstract paintings, with vibrant bands of color bleeding into each other. They reminded her of canvases by the mid-century American artist Mark Rothko. Some marshes were pink or orange, thanks to the proliferation of an algae called Dunaliella salina. Depending on their levels of salinization and types of algae, other marshes were green, golden yellow, or brown. “I like pushing the boundary between paintings and photographs,” says Chesnel, who trained as a painter and only recently transitioned into photography. […]Chesnel hopes that viewers of the images will be temporarily lifted out of their everyday concerns and given a fresh outlook on the world. … “From the ground you may see something that doesn’t look glamorous at all, but from above it becomes beautiful,” she says.
Just as mad as those in China.
Great view from bird’s eye angle. That’s why there’s a quote saying, “Try to look things from different angle, you might find something that you never seen before”.

Yes, quite right. We don’t all have our own gliders though, unfortunately!

They don’t look real, do they? But I bet they’d make great prints for your wall.

So beautiful…I don’t know much Rothko other than the large slabs of red and black, I can see the resemblance to this.
