More Glasswort

I posted a shot of red Glasswort from this fall a few weeks ago. I don’t know how I missed Glasswort until this autumn. Maybe it is a unique year…a bumper Glasswort crop…or maybe the weather pattern favored a particularly bright red as the green chlorophyll died, but the Glasswort is blazingly (!) obvious, all through the marshes along the Mousam river, this year.

I like the colors here, especially played against the textures, and the shapes formed by the wind and occasional tide flood in the grasses.

Canon SX40HS. Program with iContrast and –1/3EV exposure compensation. 400mm equivalent field of view. f5 @ 1/125th @ ISO 100. Processed in Lightroom for intensity, clarity, and sharpness.

    I had to look that one up Stephen. I’ve only seen pictures of it in the green stage.
    You can even eat the stuff!
