We all enjoy
the glimmering ocean waves and the cool breeze on a beach, but have we ever
thought about the beauty that lies right underfoot? But a series of magnified
photos may inspire you to turn your gaze to the sand, where little seen beauty
lies.
Photographer,
inventor, and scientist, Dr Gary Greenberg has devoted his life to revealing
the secret beauty of nature. Dr. Gary
Greenberg's photographs magnify grains of sand 100 to 300 times, exposing
swirling microscopic shells, eroded crystals and colourful coral fragments.
With the help of high-quality microscopes, he creates "spectacular
landscapes of worlds beyond our everyday perception — worlds where reality is
seen as abstract form and colour, motion and texture."
The grains
come from diverse beaches around the world, reaching from Okinawa, Japan to
Maui, Hawaii to Smith Mountain Lake, Va. Each fragment is unique in character
and remarkably beautiful.
