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.

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.

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.
