One example of hot crude oil *product*

This image was taken on part of Pensacola Beach, along the Gulf of Mexico, in NW Florida, USA, on 24 June 2010. The crude oil mess, thanks to the BP oil disaster, seemed to have goo features from sitting in the hot sun.


Camera: Nikon D60
Lens: AF-S 55-200mm VR Nikkor
ISO: 200
Used a Pentax T-95 close-up filter.

Hideously effective!

Are all those black specks smaller oil particles?

Yes...the entire beach (had some oil provided by the tide from the BP oil disaster in the central Gulf of Mexico. Just sheet luck that it has taken 60+ days to reach the white sand beaches on NW Florida (and lower Alabama) in the USA.


The photo below shows one overall view a day after *great effort* cleaned the heavier crude oil *product* deposits the previous afternoon and overnight.
