Psychedelic Voyager Art Collection – Peacock Tails – Croatian Water Angel 2019

I always find sea & coastal plants are far more interesting, almost exotic compared to the everyday flora I see inland in the UK.  When I was in Croatia along the Okrug Gornji coastline I was delighted to find these common brown algae ‘Peacock Tail’ in the shallow water.  These common brown Algae were dancing their angle wings in time with the seas currents.  They were quite hard to capture on camera because of the constant movements of the water, but this  motion also added a soft fluid distorted quality to the images, enhancing the watery magic.

When I put the Peacock Tail under water images through photoshop and mirrored the images, the dark line of the seas current became the outline of an angel, hence the name Croatian Water Angel.

The Water Angel image inspires me to make more under water flora creations in the future, both at home and abroad.
