#IainMBanks #TheCulture #SurfaceDetail

I've decided to re-read the entire series of Culture novels and short stories this summer. Been musing which one to start with. Not by order of publication. I'll take them in whichever order I feel like, one-by-one, starting today with Surface Detail because I remember fondly the character Lededje Y'breq who is taught and trained by the Mind on her ship Of Course I Still Love You.

Mmm, delicious Culture immersion.

Just posted a new mysterious surface ! this time with low magnification (the entire image is about 1mm across).

What could it be...?

Just started a Pixelfed page called "MicroGuessr" where I'll be posting mysterious microscope captures (as frequently as possible...)
The game is to guess what's on the picture ! Each publication will reveal the identity of the previous one !

Go go go guess !

Water and Granite.

The river Taw catching, just for an secondt, on a small ledge of rock and creating worlds of infinite possibility.

Surface Detail. The River Teign.

This isn't a photograph of trees but of water. Water moving so slowly that every detail in the trees that overhang it can be caught in some detail.

Surface Detail. Water & Granite

The very grey and plain stone is never submerged within the quarry. The slightly pinkish stone with some lichen is occasionally submerged and the very green is always submerged.
