It has been some time since my last post here. One of the reasons is
that most of what I make is (partly) related to my work and based on
data from colleagues. This image is inspired by work of a remote
colleague and sufficiently different from my own subject to be fairly
confident that I am the only intellectual owner.
For those of you that don't know what a glycocalyx is: it is a layer of
long sugary molecules that line the inside of vessels as a sort of
gelatin. It a.o. prevents the blood cells from direct contact with the
vessel wall. There are more types of glycocalyx, (see e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycocalyx) but this is the one I am
referring to.
It started as an idea for a cover of a thesis in 2002 and I did never
finish it because the PhD student decided she wanted to have a much less
interesting cover. Recently I had some time to work on it again.
Don't know if I want to add things. I was thinking of pliers and/or a
surgical knife. I might also change the aspect ratio to portrait without
adding things.

Perhaps useful to note in an international group: This kind of landscape
really does exist in the region where I grew up.
http://maps.google.com/?t=k&ll=52.446568,4.865677&z=17
And they indeed use these little islands for cows. I think I may even
see some in the satellite image. The islands are of course generally
somewhat larger in real life.

you mean that you recognized it from the pov-image?
That's good. BTW do you live in the neighbourhood?

No, I live 5m below mean sea-level (now, let's see if anybody can pin-point
where that may be :-) )
Yes, the pov image looked so very familiar to me, I immediately thought of
Waterland.
